Standard Job Description
Shelter Associate
Organizational Setting and Work Relationships
The
Shelter Associate provides support in carrying out comprehensive
sectoral needs assessments in liaison with other relevant sectors such
as protection, programme, community services, public health, WASH,
administration and supply. To ensure the most effective response, both
quantitative and qualitative data should be gathered on the
profile/needs and living conditions of both the displaced population and
host community. The incumbent will assist in the day to-day operations
of all construction and general infrastructure projects within the Area
of Responsibility (AoR) to ensure that works proceed as designed and
comply with established standards and procedures for the full project
cycle. Close and regular contact is maintained with technical and
non-technical staff of shelter sector members, national and
international NGOs and Government Authorities. The Shelter Associate
normally reports to a more senior shelter colleague. The incumbent
assists the supervisor in ensuring that shelter & infrastructure
responses within the AoR evolve according to the changing nature of the
situation, progressively working towards more durable solutions and
drawing from sustainable local building practices and materials. S/he
provides technical assistance in general infrastructure planning, design
and construction monitoring. Within an urban context, it is essential
that shelter responses take into consideration urban planning
strategies, including an analysis of residential areas, housing
affordability and availability. In addition, regardless of the context,
shelter assistance should at all times minimize the risk of harm,
eviction, exploitation and abuse, overcrowded living conditions, limited
access to services and unhygienic conditions. Special attention must be
given to the environment and low carbon approaches, attention to
material selection through sustainable means to ensure a green approach
to shelter delivery.
