Company presentation
MSF ou Médecins Sans Frontières est une organisation humanitaire internationale qui apporte une aide médicale d'urgence à des populations confrontées à des crises menaçant leur survie, et ce, depuis bientôt cinquante ans. D'ailleurs Médecins Sans Frontières a reçu le prix Nobel de la Paix en 1999. Zones de conflits armés, épidémies, pandémies, catastrophes naturelles ou accès limité aux soins de santé, voici nos terrains d'intervention. Toutes ces situations nécessitent des ressources médicales et logistiques adaptées dont les autorités sanitaires et les ministères de la Santé ne disposent pas, ou pas en nombre suffisant, c'est pourquoi une assistance médicale internationale est essentielle aux populations.
Si vous avez entendu parler des actions humanitaires MSF, c'est parce que MSF prend la parole publiquement pour tenter de faire sortir une crise de l'oubli, alerter l'opinion sur des exactions commises loin des caméras, critiquer les insuffisances du système de l'aide, ou lorsque l'assistance est détournée de son objectif premier pour servir des intérêts politiques.
Réunies autour d'une même charte, les équipes de MSF sont composées de personnel médical, logistique et administratif venant de tous les continents. Volontaires internationaux ou employés localement, ces équipes apportent leurs secours dans le respect des principes de l'action humanitaire et de l'éthique médicale.
Chez MSF, nous nous engageons à avoir une culture inclusive qui encourage et soutient les diverses voix de nos membres du personnel. Nous nous efforçons de créer des lieux de travail où des équipes de personnes ayant des origines, des caractéristiques, des perspectives, des idées et des expériences différentes travaillent ensemble pour la mission sociale de MSF afin de créer de meilleurs résultats pour nos patients et les communautés avec lesquelles nous travaillons.
Nous accueillons les candidatures de personnes de tous les sexes, âges, orientations sexuelles, nationalités, races, origines, religions, croyances, capacités et toutes autres caractéristiques de diversité.
MSF ne tolère pas l'exploitation et les abus sexuels, ni aucune forme de discrimination ou de harcèlement, y compris le harcèlement sexuel. Tous les candidats sélectionnés seront donc soumis à une vérification des références.
Depuis sa création par quelques bénévoles en 1981, MSF Suisse et le centre opérationnel de Genève a bien grandi ! Aujourd'hui, plus de quatre cents salariés, aidés de bénévoles soutiennent les 73 projets sur le terrain.
