Who we are looking for

Working on the front line to strengthen African health systems is complex and requires strong motivation, a spirit of solidarity and service, as well as solid professional preparation, essential for integrating into projects and collaborating effectively with local authorities and healthcare staff. In general, the following are required to carry out this work effectively:

Administrators

Working in close collaboration with the project managers, the administrators ensure a correct and transparent management of projects, in compliance with local and international regulations; usually the international administrator also has the role of supervising and coordinating national administrative and accounting staff. For administrators that wish to have a long-term commitment in the field of international cooperation, there is the possibility of professional growth within the Organisation, covering roles of greater complexity and responsibility as they gain experience: from project administrator to area administrator to country administrative coordinator.

Community Development Experts

Community development experts working with Doctors with Africa Cuamm coordinate activities to raise awareness and engage the community on health issues and services provided, working closely with activists and Community Health Workers.

Logisticians

Doctors with Africa Cuamm logisticians can play organisational or technical roles. As the aim is capacity building and investment in local human resources, national logisticians are deployed wherever possible and international logisticians are generally deployed to South Sudan and Central African Republic.

Project Manager

The Project Manager (PM) is responsible for the implementation and management of the NGO projects. Often the Project Managers of Doctors with Africa Cuamm have a health background (e.g. doctors or nurses) and perform directly also some project activities. In some cases, non-health Project Managers can also be appointed.

All selected candidates will be required to adhere to the organization’s mission and values, non-discrimination policies, and safeguarding principles.
