MSF is an international, independent medical humanitarian organization. We are a non-profit, self-governed worldwide movement of more than 63,000 people.
We provide emergency medical assistance during armed conflict, natural disasters, outbreaks of deadly diseases and assist those who are excluded from healthcare. MSF delivers care based on need and when we see injustice, we speak out. We are an organization that remains impartial, knowledgeable, and effective, and this is what makes the difference between life and death.
People are our priority. At Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Artsen zonder Grenzen, we are committed to an inclusive culture that encourages and supports the diverse voices of our employees. We encourage diverse applicants including individuals of all gender identities, ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, races, religions, beliefs, social and marital status, people with different abilities and all other diversity characteristics and how they work together.
Over the last decade, MSF has collectively invested in developing inclusive care for LGBTQI+ patients across its projects worldwide. This work has been supported through dedicated funding and governance by the MSF Transformational Investment Capacity (TIC), resulting in the development of guidance, tools, partnerships and organisational expertise across the MSF movement.
As this work transitions from a dedicated project into a sustainable Business-as-Usual (BAU) approach, we are looking for a Medical Transition Manager to lead this next phase. The role is responsible for ensuring continuity, embedding ownership across the organisation, and securing the long-term sustainability of LGBTQI+ inclusion within MSF's medical activities and institutional priorities.
