We are looking for a Medical Trainer for a two-month mission in Ukraine. Our work involves preparing and deploying medical teams globally to respond to epidemics, conflicts, and natural disasters in alignment with WHO standards and as a part of the UK Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT).

We are seeking an individual with a deep understanding of humanitarian relief work, who has demonstrated the ability to lead teams and manage programs effectively in demanding situations. The ideal candidate will bring a strategic approach to capacity building, ensuring our teams are prepared to provide critical healthcare services where they are most needed. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by crises, contributing to UK-Med’s mission of delivering compassionate and competent medical aid on a global scale.
