<p>Duration: Permanent</p>
<p>Location: Manchester, UK (hybrid working available), with an expectation of up to 80% international travel/deployment as required by UK-Med. <em>(Open to candidates based in the UK or internationally, with a preference for UK-based candidates due to operational considerations.) <strong>The post holder is expected to undertake an initial deployment to Gaza, subject to operational requirements</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #cd5555;"><strong>Can you provide strategic and operational HR leadership while supporting life-saving humanitarian responses in some of the world's most challenging environments? </strong></span></p>
<p>UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we've been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.</p>
<p>As UK-Med continues to expand its global humanitarian response, we are strengthening our people support in the field to ensure our teams can operate safely, effectively and sustainably in complex emergency settings. The Roving HR Manager – Emergency Responses will play a critical role in leading HR functions across humanitarian operations through direct deployment.</p>
<p>You will provide strategic and operational HR leadership across emergency responses, supporting programme start-up, scale-up and transition phases. Acting as a trusted adviser to Team Leads, Heads of Mission and senior managers, you will ensure workforce planning, employee relations, safeguarding, staff wellbeing and HR compliance are effectively managed in dynamic and high-pressure environments. A key priority for this role will be supporting UK-Med's response in Gaza, and the successful candidate must be willing and suitable to undertake deployments to Gaza and other high-risk humanitarian contexts as required.</p>
<p>Due to the highly deployable nature of this role, candidates must be able to travel internationally at short notice. UK-Med will consider deployment mobility, including passport eligibility and access to current and anticipated programme locations, as part of the overall assessment process.</p>
<p>Working closely with HR & Membership, Operations, Security, Safeguarding and programme teams, you will support rapid mobilisation, strengthen HR systems and processes, and contribute to workforce planning and organisational preparedness. When not deployed, you will help strengthen UK-Med's ability to respond rapidly and effectively to humanitarian crises worldwide.</p>
<p>We offer a competitive salary and benefits, a collaborative environment, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through humanitarian work. UK-Med is an ambitious and expanding organisation, and this role offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the delivery of critical healthcare in crisis settings.</p>
