Médecins du Monde UK is looking for both medical and non-medical volunteers to work in the field in 51 countries.
Medical: doctors, nurses, midwives, psychologists and surgeons
You will need two years post qualification experience
A diploma in tropical medicine would be useful
Minimum period for volunteering: three months
Non medical: administrators, logisticians and lawyers
You will need three to five years experience in your given field
Minimum period for volunteering: six months
For both: a working knowledge of French is useful, although not obligatory. Other languages, like Spanish and Portuguese, are also useful.
It’s important to remember that this kind of volunteer work is the result of an individual, ideological commitment. We perceive your desire to volunteer with us as a gesture of solidarity, which has more significance than simply looking for a job.
