We are seeking Senior Nurses with previous experience working in humanitarian contexts. You will be able to make yourself available to travel and work internationally at short notice for a minimum of 4-6 weeks (longer availability is highly desirable) to join our register.

Our ideal candidates will be fully licensed and experienced Nurses who have significant experience working in emergency contexts, but also in community settings (e.g., providing Senior Nursing expertise at both hospital and community level). You will be confident and capable in assessing current practices, developing action plans, and implementing necessary actions.

Experience practicing nursing in low resource / humanitarian contexts is highly desirable.

You must hold a current nursing license and be able to demonstrate your current and unconditional membership of a suitable registering organisation. You must hold specific qualifications / professional registrations in Nursing Science/Degree.

You will be determined, high performing, compassionate and collaborative, as well as being committed to learning and supporting others to learn. Language skills will be an advantage. We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through an influential role in humanitarian programming.

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.
