Headquarters Staff

Headquarters Staff

“It’s quite a bit different to work back in Switzerland than in Sudan. The surroundings are safe and familiar. The stress level at HQ can be high, but is generally less tense than in actual field circumstances. But still I’m working with international co-workers, which brings a special spice to our relationships.”

At Medair’s international headquarters (HQ) – located in Ecublens, near Lausanne, Switzerland – our dedicated team of 70 staff provide leadership and support for all of our country programmes throughout the world. 

 

Staff members in every department are inspired by the knowledge that, in their daily jobs, they play an integral role in bringing emergency relief and rehabilitation to the most vulnerable.

 

Medair HQ provides operational guidance for country programmes and activities, along with both technical and compassionate support for our relief workers. HQ staff also promote the work of Medair to the world and raise and manage the funds needed to run our life-saving programmes. 

Invest your skills where they can make a lasting difference.

Medair is often looking for experienced professionals to join the team at HQ. Professionals with a background in humanitarian aid are a particular asset, as are professionals with experience in the sectors of health services, water and sanitation, and shelter and infrastructure.

 

We are also interested in professionals with a background in management, finance, human resources, logistics, ICT, fundraising, marketing and communications, or administration.
