Since our founding in Berlin in 2015, SOS Humanity has been active as a civilian search and rescue organisation to ensure that no one has to drown at sea and that everyone is treated with dignity. With our rescue ships Humanity 1 and Humanity 2 we operate in the central Mediterranean to rescue people in distress at sea, protect them and bring them to a place of safety.

For our operational crew we are urgently looking for a Medic:

• Providing autonomous patient care, particularly in emergencies or when multiple patients require simultaneous treatment
• Supporting the Doctor in organising medical evacuations (MEDEVACs)
• Leading triage during mass casualty incidents
• Joining the RHIB team when required to assess people in distress

Qualifications:

• Accreditation as a nurse, paramedic, EMT, or equivalent
• Minimum of two years of full-time professional experience post-accreditation
• Demonstrated experience in acute and emergency care
• Ability to work under pressure in resource-limited environments
• Strong patient assessment and prioritisation skills
