Our midwives work in different cultural contexts and have to be able to adapt to the ways of the local community and the reality of the reproductive lives of women there.
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.

The gross basic salary is approximately €1,000 per month during first
missions. The salary is regularly reviewed according to the length of time
in the organization and the experience acquired.
The chance to develop professionally in an international organization.
A profile manager from the HR department will monitor your professional
development (career path, training, etc.) within the organization.
The opportunity to contribute to our objective of saving lives, alleviating
suffering and helping those most in need.
Essential requirements:
Midwifery recognized qualification essential.
Tropical medicine training desirable.
Minimum of two years’ work experience as registered midwife
Good level of English and French. Priority will be given to candidates with knowledge of both languages.
