Midwives

The types of projects that we assign to our midwives are very varied: opening a small maternity hospital in a rural setting, establishing a programme to respond to sexual violence problems, attending patients in a hospital in a city, etc. Our midwives work in diverse cultural contexts and in conflict zones. It is therefore necessary to be able to adapt to that specific reality.

Essential requirements:

• Diploma/degree in nursing, with specialty in obstetric-gynaecological nursing.
• Minimum of two years’ work experience.
• Experience in complicated deliveries and perinatal care.
• Demonstrable experience in family planning and mother-child care.
• Good level of English and French. Priority will be given to candidates with knowledge of both languages.
• Minimum availability of 12 months (divided into two missions of six months).
• User-level IT skills.

Desired requirements:

• Experience in the field with other NGOs.
• Knowledge of Arabic, Spanish and/or Portuguese will be valued.
• Training and/or specialised experience, eg in tropical diseases, public health, etc.

What we offer

• Preparatory course before leaving to the field.
• Legal contract for the duration of the mission.
• The gross basic salary is approximately €1,300 per month during first missions and for positions of lesser responsibility. The salary is regularly reviewed according to the length of time in the organisation and the experience acquired.
