About SBP
SBP is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities shrink the time between disaster and recovery. We take a holistic approach to disasters by increasing readiness and resilience before they happen, and streamlining rebuilding and long-term recovery after.
Our work is defined by two core pillars:
- Building the Way Home for Disaster Survivors: SBP serves the most vulnerable homeowners in communities impacted by major disasters through its Recovery Services. These services are currently offered through eight states across the Gulf South, where the risk of major natural disasters is greatest.
- Building Readiness and Resilience Through Local Partnership: SBP supports low-capacity, high-risk communities through its Advisory Services, providing training, consulting, and organizational capacity-building through a team of subject-matter experts and Resilience Fellows.
Joining SBP is more than just joining a workforce. It's about contributing to a mission where you can enact real change and make a difference in the lives of people impacted by disasters.
About the Role
We are seeking dedicated individuals to join our team in Tampa, Florida, starting April 28th or July 28th. These roles are designed for those who want to embody SBP's dedication to timely response and community support.
As a Project Lead, you will rebuild, construct, and fortify the homes of disaster survivors. You will learn and master many phases of construction, and lead, mentor, and coach volunteers as they assist with your rebuilding efforts. You will learn sustainability and energy efficiency techniques that help homes better withstand future storms. No construction experience is necessary.
As a Disaster Corps Project Lead, you will embody SBP's dedication to timely response, deploying to disaster-impacted communities following the immediate impact of natural disasters. When not on deployment, you will serve as Project Leads supporting recovery in your community. This is a vital part of the role, as some Disaster Corps members may not have the opportunity to deploy during their term.
As a Supply & Logistics Coordinator, you will ensure construction sites have the necessary tools and materials on time and accurately through a keen focus on planning and organization. You will help maintain a clean, safe, and organized warehouse and track weekly/monthly goals to reduce waste and follow the project timeline.
As a Volunteer Coordinator, you will recruit and coordinate volunteer visits. You will welcome volunteer groups, talk to them about the impact of their service, and empower individuals to join us in being part of the solution!
