Are you a Trauma Surgeon interested in using your expertise and knowledge to deliver Humanitarian aid in emergency response projects or looking to build your career in a humanitarian setting?
UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.
We are seeking Surgeons with Trauma experience working in humanitarian contexts. You will be able to make yourself available to travel and work internationally at short notice for a minimum of 2 weeks (longer availability is highly desirable).
Our ideal candidates will be fully licensed and experienced Trauma Surgeons, providing medical care to patients with a wide range of medical conditions.

You must be a fully licensed Trauma Surgeon, registered with an appropriate professional body. You must hold a Degree in Medicine with speciality training in orthopaedic surgery.
You will be determined, high performing, compassionate, and collaborative, as well as being committed to learning and supporting others to learn. Language skills will be an advantage. You will have a positive and flexible problem-solving approach and be willing, able, and ready to deploy to support all UK-Med programmes and projects.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference.
This vacancy will close as soon as we have received enough strong applications. Please apply as soon as possible.
The selection process consists of two stages:
1. Interview Stage: All applicants will go through an initial interview stage.
2. Selection Training Stage: Applicants who pass the interview stage and do not have a minimum of 3 years of humanitarian experience will be required to complete a selection training.
