Can you help ensure humanitarian workers have access to life-saving medical evacuation and stabilisation services in one of the world's most challenging operating environments?

UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the British National Health Service, we have been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises and disasters strike.

UK-Med is currently supporting the humanitarian response in North Darfur, Sudan, where escalating needs and limited access to healthcare continue to place vulnerable populations and frontline responders at significant risk.

To strengthen humanitarian duty-of-care systems within Darfur, UK-Med is establishing a Medical Evacuation Referral Unit (MERU), providing stabilisation, referral and medical evacuation coordination services for the humanitarian community. The service will operate in close collaboration with humanitarian agencies, UN partners, health actors and referral facilities to ensure timely access to appropriate medical care.

We are seeking an experienced Medevac Coordinator to lead the establishment and operation of this service. You will oversee the implementation and day-to-day management of the MERU facility and associated ambulance services, coordinate national and international medical evacuations, manage multidisciplinary clinical teams and strengthen referral pathways across the humanitarian response.

Working closely with the Humanitarian Team Lead, Health Cluster, Trauma and Referral Working Group, EMT Coordination Cell, Ministry of Health and partner agencies, you will play a key role in ensuring effective, safe and accountable medical evacuation services are available to humanitarian personnel operating across Darfur.

Our ideal candidate will bring significant experience in humanitarian health operations, emergency medical services, patient referral systems, medical evacuation coordination or emergency response management. You will be comfortable operating in complex and insecure environments, able to manage multiple stakeholders and committed to ensuring high-quality duty-of-care services for frontline responders.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute directly to humanitarian response efforts in Sudan while helping establish a critical service that supports the health, safety and wellbeing of humanitarian workers operating in a challenging and dynamic context.
