In this role, you will provide comprehensive nursing care for both adult and paediatric patients in inpatient facilities such as field hospitals, health centres, or mobile clinics. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will support the full patient journey – from admission through to discharge or referral – ensuring best practices in nursing care are consistently applied.

You will also play a key role in mentoring and supporting local health workers and partners, contributing to capacity-building efforts that enhance the long-term delivery of care in humanitarian settings.

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.
