How to Apply for Ebola Response Roster (Various Roles)

at CTG (Committed To Good)

🏢 About CTG (Committed To Good)

CTG (Committed To Good) specializes in rapidly deploying experienced professionals to support emergency response operations in complex, conflict-affected environments. Their roster model ensures that skilled individuals are pre-vetted and ready to mobilize quickly for Ebola outbreaks and other public health emergencies, offering a unique opportunity to make a direct impact in high-stakes settings.

About This Role

As part of the Ebola Response Roster, you will be deployed to support outbreak containment efforts across various functions such as epidemiology, infection prevention, community engagement, logistics, or protection. This role is critical in saving lives and stopping the spread of Ebola, often in resource-limited and insecure environments, making your contribution both challenging and deeply rewarding.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a security briefing and coordination meeting with local health authorities to align on outbreak data. You could then move to field activities: for an epidemiologist, that means investigating new cases and tracing contacts; for an IPC specialist, it involves training staff on PPE donning/doffing in a treatment center. Evenings are spent reporting updates and planning for the next day, often under challenging conditions with limited connectivity and resources.
