CONTEXT

An Ebola outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo virus, was declared on Monday, May 18, in Ituri province (DRC). Since then, the situation has been evolving rapidly and spreading to neighboring areas. MSF Switzerland has launched an emergency response to support health authorities and affected communities.

Given the evolving situation, this response is likely to be long-term. MSF is therefore preparing for a prolonged intervention, with several phases of deployment.

In this context, MSF Switzerland is launching a call for applications in order to anticipate the human resource needs for the Ebola response.

The deployment will follow the usual recruitment, matching, and validation processes. Prior approval from your line manager, or a discussion with your Development Advisor/Career Manager, will be required before any action is taken.

In order to guarantee operational safety and compliance with MSF standards, all staff must adhere to the MSF Switzerland Code of Conduct, as well as to the specific procedures related to Ebola interventions.
