Health Coordinator, Sahrawi Refugee Camps

The Gist:

Lead all health programming for Medicos del Mundo in the Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria. This role is for a senior clinician who can manage strategy, supervise staff, and coordinate across partners in a complex humanitarian context.

What You’d Be Doing:

• Oversee health project design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation; ensure quality standards and impact orientation
• Supervise contracted health staff: training, performance evaluation, capacity building, and protocol compliance
• Coordinate procurement of medicines, supplies, and equipment; manage health information systems and data collection
• Represent Medicos del Mundo in technical coordination with Sahrawi health authorities, UN agencies, and partner NGOs

What They’re Looking For:

• Education: Medical degree (MD) or nursing diploma required.
• Experience: Field experience in international cooperation with health program management is essential; humanitarian context and Sahrawi situation knowledge is strongly preferred.
• Standout Qualifications: Project cycle management, community health, public health training, and demonstrated expertise in gender, rights-based, and intercultural approaches are highly valued.

Good Fit If:

You’re a clinician comfortable leading teams and navigating complex partnerships in austere settings. You thrive coordinating across organizational silos, speak fluent Spanish (English and French a plus), and have the diplomatic skill and resilience to work effectively in a protracted refugee context.
