What is the opportunity?

Respond with Compassionate Action

We are seeking non-medical Team Membersto join our Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART). Through humanitarian work, the goal and purpose of Samaritan's Purse are to help people in Jesus' name and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

About the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART):

DART members are contracted "on-call" employees. Their pay is activated when they are deployed to a response. Practically, this means they have careers and life circumstances separate from DART, but when Samaritan's Purse initiates a response, we call available DART members to respond and deploy. Because deployments can occur with little or no warning, DART members must maintain a flexible schedule and be prepared to deploy when needed. Deployments may take members to dangerous locations where living conditions are challenging, and workdays are long and demanding. Despite these challenges, Samaritan's Purse believes in being the first on the ground to serve and help those who have suffered through a catastrophic event in the name of Jesus Christ.

As a non-medical DART Member you will work in conjunction with Program Managers and a Team Leader to implement all aspects of disaster response activities in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. You will participate in the planning, development, execution, and monitoring of relief work activities in austere environments. We need individuals who seek to use their experience in accordance with Samaritan's Purse standards to serve those in need.
