Work with us

At Medair, we are always looking for committed Christians with professional experience who are committed to serving the most vulnerable with practical and compassionate care.

Why work with Medair?

  • Medair is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Switzerland, employing over one thousand staff from around the world.  

  • Medair brings life-saving emergency relief and rehabilitation in disasters, conflict areas, and other crises by working alongside the most vulnerable. We provide aid to over two million beneficiaries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia every year.  

  • At the moment, we are running emergency relief and rehabilitation programmes in Afghanistan, D.R. Congo, Indonesia, Madagascar, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda. For more information about these countries and our work within them, please follow this link.

  • Medair works in partnership with communities and builds their capacity for a better future. We uphold the dignity and independence of every person, regardless of race, gender, religion, or politics.  

  • Medair’s staff are known for our remarkable team spirit, particularly given our diverse cultural, racial, and linguistic backgrounds. We are united by a set of common values, shared by all of our internationally recruited staff.

  • Medair's Values are Faith, Hope, Compassion, Accountability, Integrity, and Dignity - these are the ways our staff strive to live and work every day, in times of peace and in times of conflict. They are the foundation for everything we do, and the motivation for everything we aim to be. 

Now it’s your turn – why does Medair want to work with you?

  • Are you a committed Christian and do you share Medair’s values?

  • Are you an experienced professional in health services, water and sanitation, or shelter and infrastructure, or in any of the following key areas: management, finance, human resources, logistics, ICT, marketing and communications, or administration?  

  • Do you want to become an integral part of a team that saves and sustains the lives of the world’s most vulnerable?

 

If you answered “YES” to these three questions, then you may be just the kind of person we are looking for to join our team.
