Learning Development Mobile Regional Mission Manager M/W

Médecins Sans Frontières, an international medical humanitarian association created in 1971, provides medical assistance to populations whose lives are threatened: mainly in the event of armed conflicts, but also of epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters, or exclusion from care. The French section of MSF is present in about thirty countries.

In the context of an increase of activity and in order to support pharmaceutical activities on two clinical trials, we are looking for a Learning Development Mobile Regional Mission Manager

Learning has always been at the heart of MSF’s practices and for the past two years, the organisation has been working to decompartmentalise its training offer, the area in which MSF has historically invested the most, from the rest of the systems necessary for the professional development of teams.

In this context, the organisation has formalised the institutional vision of Learning & Development (L&D philosophy) and the role of each person in implementing this vision, while working on broader issues such as the organisation of work and the learning culture that MSF wishes to encourage in all its fields of intervention.

In a reaffirmed desire to position itself as a support to operations, the L&D unit, which is currently being structured, has the mission of developing the learning offer and tools for the professional development of teams.

The mission of the L&D support teams is to provide coherent support to the missions and cells to ensure that they have motivated individuals capable of meeting operational needs.

The LnD regional mission manager will assist the cell and its field teams to strengthen the working environment to ensure that it is conducive to equitable and sustained learning.
