Are you a qualified pharmacist with experience in humanitarian or low-resource settings?

UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the British National Health Service, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has access to quality healthcare when crises or disasters hit.

We are seeking experienced pharmacists who can be available to travel and work internationally at short notice for a minimum of 4-6 weeks (longer availability is highly desirable) to deploy in emergency responses globally, including current humanitarian crises such as in Gaza.

Our Ideal Candidate

You are a fully licensed and experienced Pharmacist with expertise in managing pharmaceutical supply chains, dispensing medications, and ensuring safe and effective drug use in diverse clinical settings, including conflict-affected and emergency environments. You have experience adapting pharmaceutical practices to low-resource or humanitarian contexts, ensuring rational drug use and supply management despite logistical challenges.

You must hold a valid professional registration in pharmacy and be able to demonstrate unconditional membership of a recognized professional body. Experience working in humanitarian or low-resource settings is highly desirable.

You are determined, adaptable, and collaborative, with strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality pharmaceutical care in challenging environments. Additional language skills would be an advantage.

What We Offer

Joining UK-Med’s Humanitarian Register means you will be considered for deployment to international emergency responses based on the needs of each mission. This is not a full-time or permanent role, and deployment is not guaranteed, as it depends on the specific profile needs of each response. However, we offer excellent learning opportunities and the chance to make a real impact in humanitarian healthcare.

If you are ready to apply your expertise in pharmacy to support emergency medical responses, we would love to hear from you.

This vacancy will close as soon as we have received enough strong applications. Please apply as soon as possible.

The selection process consists of two stages:

1. Interview Stage: All applicants will go through an initial interview stage.
2. Selection Training Stage: Applicants who pass the interview stage and do not have a minimum of 3 years of humanitarian experience will be required to complete a selection training.

UK-Med is committed to safeguarding of our personnel and beneficiaries and has a zero tolerance approach to sexual exploitation and abuse. We conduct thorough vetting before any appointment is confirmed.

UK-Med is committed to the principles of diversity, equality, and inclusion. We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive environment where employees feel respected and supported to be able to fulfil their potential.
