Working with MSF
Working with MSF is humanitarian delivery, not an international-office career. Medical, nursing, mental-health, logistics, supply, finance, human-resources, IT, communications and operations professionals work with teams close to patients and communities. Most colleagues are hired locally; internationally mobile staff take fixed-term assignments in countries of intervention. Roles demand technical competence, respect for MSF’s principles, teamwork across cultures, operational discipline and the ability to adapt safely as a context changes.
Why Work at MSF?
Put professional skills beside patients
Use medical or support expertise where conflict, exclusion and crisis interrupt essential care.
Work in independent emergency medicine
Deliver humanitarian assistance guided by medical ethics, impartiality and operational independence from political interests.
Join locally rooted global teams
Work alongside colleagues hired close to programmes and mobile specialists supporting crisis responses.
How to Apply for MSF Jobs
MSF’s official work page routes applicants by the type of job, professional field and country of residence. Use that selector or the worldwide vacancies page; the right MSF office and process depend on the role.
Official MSF application route ↗1Choose the right MSF route
On **Work with MSF**, select whether you are applying for a job and identify the relevant field and country of residence. MSF uses this information to direct applicants toward the appropriate recruitment office or current opportunities instead of one universal application process.
2Distinguish locally hired and mobile roles
MSF states that about 90% of its staff are locally hired, while internationally mobile staff, specialists and senior managers take fixed-term assignments in countries of intervention. Check which route the role uses before applying and make sure your residence, availability and profile match it.
3Read the specific vacancy or office guidance
For office-based openings worldwide, use MSF’s job-offers page and open the detailed listing. For field recruitment, follow the process given by the recruiting office identified through the official selector. Do not assume that every MSF section uses the same form or recruitment timeline.
4Prepare evidence for the actual operational role
Connect your experience to the advertised discipline and setting: clinical practice, supply, logistics, finance, human resources, IT, communications or operations. Explain relevant work in resource-constrained, multicultural or emergency environments and your ability to uphold MSF’s principles.
5Follow the recruiting office’s selection instructions
Submit only through the route given for that vacancy or recruitment office, then monitor its communications. MSF’s process varies by employing section and role; the live notice or office guidance sets the requested documents, assessments, interviews and final decision steps.

Frequently asked questions about MSF careers
Where do I apply for MSF jobs?+
Start at MSF’s official Work with MSF page. Its selector directs you by job type, field and country of residence, while a separate page lists office vacancies worldwide. This matters because MSF is a movement of sections and operational centres; the correct recruiting office or system depends on the role you seek.
Does MSF recruit only doctors and nurses?+
No. MSF says it recruits across medical, finance, logistics, IT, administration, human resources and communications, among other fields. A non-medical role is still tied to humanitarian delivery, so applicants should show how their expertise supports safe, effective care, supply chains, teams or operations in the advertised setting.
Where does MSF work?+
MSF delivered medical assistance in over 75 countries and regions in 2024. Programmes can change as conflict, epidemics, disasters and access conditions evolve. The global figure does not guarantee a vacancy in every setting, so use the current MSF job listing or recruiting-office guidance for available assignments.
Are most MSF staff internationally mobile?+
No. MSF reports that about 90% of staff are locally hired in their country of residence, working near programmes or in MSF offices. Around 10% are internationally mobile staff, specialists or senior managers on fixed-term intervention assignments. Choose the route that matches your location and profile.
What should I show in an MSF application?+
Show the professional requirements named in the role and your readiness to work with respect, accountability and adaptability in a humanitarian context. MSF’s work is guided by medical ethics, independence and impartiality. Practical examples of teamwork, sound judgement, safety awareness and service to patients or communities are more useful than general motivation alone.
