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. We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through an influential role in humanitarian programming.
At the same time UK-Med tries to provide feedback to applicants and share with them where they have fallen short in the competitive process, it may be very difficult to provide individual feedback due to the large number of applications received and the multiple recruitments taking place at the same time, specifically during times of ongoing emergency surges.
Application Process:
To apply, please complete the questions and submit your CV as soon as possible. This vacancy will close as soon as we have received enough strong applications.
Selection Process:
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.
