ShelterBox

Please note: Not all employers provided information about their positions and application processes. Please visit their websites for more details.

Our purpose is to provide emergency shelter to families who have lost their home to disaster, enabling them to rebuild their lives. We go to hard to reach communities, often those overlooked by others, to provide vulnerable families with a place to call home. We work with our global network to support communities around the world to rebuild and recover from the worst days of their lives. 
 
Having somewhere dry and warm to sleep, to prepare meals and be with your family is vital for starting the long process of rebuilding your life. ShelterBox teams work with disaster-hit families around the world, offering emergency shelter and other essential items to support them in rebuilding their lives. Every disaster is different and so is every community, so we spend time with those affected to make sure we can offer the right support at the right time to help them recover. See how we work. Our teams can travel by boat, helicopter or tuk-tuk to get to the families who need your support – whatever it takes to get to the people who have lost their homes to disaster.
