Support to Life (STL) is an independent humanitarian agency working in the field of disaster risk reduction, disaster preparedness, and emergency response in Turkey and the surrounding region. With an emphasis on community participation, STL works at a grassroots level to build local capacity, mitigate the risks and impact of disasters, and support those in need in meeting their basic needs and rights.

In line with its mandate STL currently has the following main activities:

• Relief aid and protection for Syrian refugees: in response to the increasing number of refugees in Turkey, STL is supporting refugees living outside camps in the Turkish border area with a food security programme, and providing psychosocial support through the establishment of Community Centres;
• Child labour in seasonal agricultural work: STL has been working with at-risk children, sensitising farmers and raising awareness among the public in an effort to contribute to eliminating child labour;
• Civil Society Disaster Platform: in collaboration with partners, STL has launched a platform that will bring together civil society actors in sharing information and coordinating projects related to disaster management in Turkey.

STL has grown rapidly in recent years and now has approximately 140 staff working in four locations. As a result STL is looking for a Human Resources Coordinator to oversee the consolidation and development of STL's HR management policies and practices, and to provide strategic support to its senior management and organisational development.
