Human Resources Coordinator

In countries where MSF provides medical and humanitarian assistance, we work with many local employees. In particular, in large countries and countries where there are a wide range of projects the Human Resources Coordinator ensures the continuity of administrative processes and a high level of human resources management.

The Human Resources Coordinator is also responsible for various administrative tasks, such as leases/rental contracts, insurance, and work or residence permits. Other responsibilities include ensuring compliance with local labor laws, implementing internal staff regulations, labor contracts, payroll, recruitment planning and workflow, communicating with local authorities, implementing and updating salary scales, and supporting field administrators in the area of HR. The Human Resources Coordinator works with a team of local staff.
