Ability to live and work as a team

MSF field workers live and work together. The hours are long and the living conditions may be primitive and offer little privacy. It is essential that field workers are tolerant, flexible and willing to interact with people of all nationalities and cultures.

 

Experience in developing countries

The vast majority of MSF projects are in the developing world. Previous work experience in the developing world is strongly desired.

Field workers must be able to cope with a difficult and unpredictable environment, and adapt to the local culture, living conditions, security regulations and team dynamics.

 

Flexibility

Situations can change quickly in the field. Work tasks, departure dates, team composition and working environments may change during assignments. Flexibility is critical to one's success on an MSF project.

 

Language skills
