Introduction
Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations and the leading UN agency in the field of migration. Working closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners, IOM promotes humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It saves lives and protects people on the move, drives solutions to displacement, and facilitates pathways for regular migration, while providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
IOM is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive and supportive workplace where all employees can thrive professionally and feel valued. By creating such an environment, IOM aims to better harness the full potential of migration and strengthen its support to people on the move.
IOM invites candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply and provides reasonable accommodation throughout the recruitment process when required. Learn more about IOM’s workplace culture at IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration
Applications are welcome from internal and external candidates. For all IOM vacancies, applications from qualified and eligible first-tier candidates are considered before those of qualified and eligible second-tier candidates in the selection process. For the purpose of this vacancy, internal and internal-equivalent candidates are considered as first-tier candidates.
Organizational Context and Scope
Despite these efforts, IOM’s ability to respond to critical and lifesaving needs is increasingly constrained. Without additional support, thousands of migrants could be left without access to basic healthcare, putting their lives and the broader public health at risk.
Increased support is therefore vital to enable IOM to bridge urgent service gaps, protect the most vulnerable, and uphold public health priorities until national systems are sufficiently equipped to respond independently.
Under the overall supervision of the Head of Sub-office (Zarzis), Migration Health Officer and the direct supervision of the migration health physician, the successful incumbent will be responsible for the following tasks
