Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is looking for a Nursing Team Supervisor with French language skills to join the pool of our International Mobile Staff.

Doctors Without Borders (Leger Uten Grenser/Médecins Sans Frontières/MSF) is an independent, international medical humanitarian organization that provides lifesaving care to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare.

As a Nursing Team Supervisor, you are part of the backbone of our medical activities. Through strong leadership, collaboration, and care for both patients and colleagues, you help ensure safe, high‑quality nursing care in some of the world’s most challenging contexts. This is a role where your experience truly matters, and where you work for something greater than yourself.

If your application is successful, you will be added to the pool of International Mobile Staff (IMS) with MSF Norway.

Being part of the IMS pool means that you are eligible for international assignments. Matching to a specific project and location will take place based on MSF’s operational needs, your profile, experience, and availability. The assignment duration would be between 6 to 12 months.
