MSF Australia is actively recruiting nurses with:
- Significant experience in ER/ICU
- Significant Infection Prevention Control experience
- Neonate/Paediatric Nurses
As a nurse working for Médecins Sans Frontières your training and supervisory skills will be utilised to the full. The contexts in which you work may vary from taking part in a mass vaccination for meningitis, managing a maternal-child health program or triaging an influx of displaced people fleeing conflict.
Your expertise will be called upon to support local staff in upgrading their skills. On the other hand, local nurses and health workers will be ‘old hands’ at managing tropical diseases you may never have worked with before.
