UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.

We are looking for a Medical Trainer for a two-month mission in Ukraine.

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.
