MSF recrute 01 Biomedical Services Unit Coordinator (m/f/x)
Logistics at MSF aims at providing the best environment of care for MSF beneficiaries and medical teams activities through a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach. MSF operations are very diverse and constantly evolving, requiring Logs to continuously adapt to provide appropriate solutions.
The Logistics Department’s mission is twofold. Firstly, it is to provide the frame of action of Logs on the field. Secondly, it provides access to support (both in technical and intervention families), knowledge as well as learning & development opportunities for field Logs to be able to carry out their mission.
For these purposes, the Log department at MSF Operational Center Brussels (OCB) is composed of 3 main units. The Log Support Unit (LSU) provides direct support to Logs in Operations and identifies needs to be tackled by other Log entities. The Workforce Unit (WFU) ensures that the Log workforce is available and prepared to contribute to operational ambitions in their project/mission. The Knowledge Management Unit (KMU) aims at improving access to information, knowledge and to the variety of support means for Logs in the field.
The Biomedical Services Unit (BSU) is inside the Log Support Unit (LSU) and under the supervision of the Deputy LSU Coordinator. Due to the strong multi department dimension attached to the Biomedical Services domain:
- The governance is overseen by an intradepartmental committee composed by the Logistics, Medical, Supply and Operations Department representatives.
- The operational priorities are given by an intradepartmental Steering committee
The BSU Team is currently composed of 2 Mobile Implementation Officers, 2 Medical Equipment Referents, 2 Regional Technical Referents, 1 Biomed product Specialist and 1 Strategic Buyer.
The current Pool of field-based staff specialized in this domain is of approximately 25 Biomedical focal points distributed around the world in approx. 20 MSF Missions. As Biomedical Services Unit Coordinator, you oversee the activity of your team and organize the functional support to all the field staff involved in the Biomedical domain.
