Summary
CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) is a crisis response organization that saves lives and strengthens communities impacted by or vulnerable to crisis.
The Shelter & Settlements Advisor provides technical leadership for CORE's shelter and settlements work in the June 2026 Venezuela earthquake response. The Advisor shapes and quality-assures the shelter approach — grounded in CORE's camp-decompression strategy and the official housing-habitability classification (Presidential Commission Green / Yellow / Red) — spanning engineer-led safety assessments, home repairs, partial and full demolition and site clearance, emergency shelter, host-family hosting, and cash-based / cash-for-rent housing support.
The role integrates build-back-safer and seismic considerations, protection, gender/GESI, and humanitarian minimum standards (Sphere), and contributes to response strategy, concept notes, and donor proposals (including IOM) — while building the capacity of CORE staff and local partners.
Based in Caracas, this is a full-time, fixed-term position for an initial three-month contract, with the possibility of extension based on response needs and funding. The position will require rapid mobilization and deployment to Caracas on short notice; candidates must be prepared to relocate for the duration of the contract.
Main Responsibilities
These tasks are illustrative, not exhaustive — the specific mix depends on how the response evolves.
Assessment
Lead and advise engineer-led structural safety and habitability assessments, applying the official Green/Yellow/Red classification (Presidential Commission) to determine which homes are safe, repairable, or unrepairable.
Determine shelter priorities, immediate activities, and required resources; identify hazards (e.g., asbestos) and mitigation measures.
Design & Strategy
Shape and adapt CORE's shelter approach for the Venezuela context — repairs, partial and full demolition with site clearance, emergency shelter on cleared plots, host-family hosting, and cash-for-rent / CVA — aligned to the camp-decompression goal.
Set technical standards (build-back-safer, seismic, Sphere) and integrate protection, gender/GESI, DRR, and environmental considerations.
Contribute to response strategy and develop concept notes, ToRs, bills of quantities, budgets, and proposals to CORE and donor (including IOM) standards.
Implementation & Quality Assurance
Provide technical oversight and quality assurance of repairs, demolition, and emergency shelter works; define scopes of work and verify standards.
Ensure logistics, materials, and MEAL (including post-distribution monitoring) are in place; uphold land/tenure and legal requirements.
Coordinate debris/rubble removal and site clearance to enable repair and rebuilding — mechanisms, heavy-equipment coordination, worker safety, hazardous-material (asbestos) awareness, and disposal.
Capacity Building
- Mentor, coach, and train CORE staff and local partners on shelter assessment, repair, build-back-safer techniques, and safe demolition.
Scope & Travel
Reports to: Deputy Response Lead (technical line to the Director of Global Humanitarian Response).

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
