Genf, Genf, Schweiz Medecins Sans Frontieres Vollzeit
Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled midwife to join our team in providing maternal healthcare services in resource-constrained settings. The successful candidate will be responsible for implementing sexual and reproductive health activities, assisting field doctors and nurses, and providing pre- and post-delivery care to mothers and newborns.

Key Responsibilities
  • Plan, organize, and implement sexual and reproductive health activities
  • Assist field doctors and nurses as needed, including normal or complicated deliveries
  • Provide pre- and post-delivery care to mothers and newborns
  • Manage, train, and supervise local midwives and the maternity team
  • Ensure all pregnant women and newborns are referred to the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI)
  • Set up maternity departments in new health centers/hospitals
  • Care for survivors of sexual violence
  • Work with community birth attendants to ensure safe community birthing practices
  • Supervise the distribution of drugs, track consumption patterns, supply orders, and monitor inventories
  • Supervise administrative procedures and documents, analyzing routine data for monitoring purposes

Depending on our activities and needs, your responsibilities may be adapted and evolve according to the specific projects. You will not face these challenges alone; other MSF team members (both international and locally hired staff) will provide technical support, including comprehensive guidelines and protocols.

Requirements
  • Qualification as a registered midwife
  • At least two years of professional experience as a midwife
  • Recent clinical experience (at least six months within the last 24 months)
  • Experience of labour wards and difficult case management
  • If working as an independent midwife, previous experience must include extensive numbers of deliveries as well as pre- and post-natal care and relevant experience in hospital settings
  • Willingness to work in all kinds of contexts worldwide, including unstable areas
  • IT skills (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
  • Fluency in English and/or French
  • Commitment to MSF's work and values
  • Adaptable and able to work in a multicultural team
  • Flexible and able to manage stress
  • Available for a minimum of six months
Assets
  • Experience or diploma in tropical medicine
  • Training in emergency obstetrics (e.g. Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics)
  • Experience working in developing countries
  • People management experience
  • Fluency in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, or Russian

As an MSF midwife, your training skills will be crucial because you may be assigned to help traditional birth attendants develop new skills. At the same time, you will need to learn from the women you treat to understand cross-cultural issues surrounding childbirth.
