Recruitment for the GBV and CP Deployment Scheme
As the GBV and CP Deployment Scheme is a static pool of experts deployed to multiple emergency responses annually, and does not follow a traditional deployment pool and deploy model, recruitment takes place less frequently than for other rosters. However, when we have openings for new experts to be included in the team, then we advertise. Those who do not make the final cut, are placed in a pool which we can than reach out to in case a suitable opportunity arises.
