You will have full GMC or Irish Medical Council Registration or a transcript of training, with at least 2 years post registration experience in acute general medicine or accident and emergency. You will be adaptable and self-motivated with a minimum of three months’ work volunteering in developing countries, as well as experience of training and supervising clinical staff. In addition you will have:
- Advanced life support, paediatric life support and neonatal life support training
- The ability to relate to and motivate local staff effectively, alongside political and cultural sensitivity
- The capacity and willingness to be extremely flexible and accommodating in difficult and sometimes insecure working circumstances with limited resources
- Previous experience of NGO work in humanitarian settings
- Diploma level of training in tropical medicine and/or infectious disease (desirable).
The post holder must be willing to deployed at short notice (<72 hrs) for up to three months at a time.

We will do everything possible to ensure that only those who are suitable to work with children are recruited to work for us. This post is subject to a range of vetting checks including a criminal records disclosure.
If you share our belief in the power of children, join the fight. It takes relentless determination, creativity and a real commitment to real change. Because every child should be able to make their mark on their world, and help to build a better future. We look forward to hearing from you.
