MSF field staff worldwide give life-saving medical and technical assistance to people who would otherwise be denied access to basics such as healthcare, clean water and shelter.
Annually, around 3,000 international volunteers join local staff helping populations in danger. They bring motivation, professional abilities and practical experience to projects in more than 60 countries. MSF overseas volunteers often live and work in very difficult conditions. The work is tough and demanding, but the rewards are immense.
MSF also recruits people with a non-medical background to fill a variety of support and coordinator roles.
MSF recruitment is done through our national offices. For more information, select the office nearest you:
