Working in the Field
Joining a humanitarian mission means taking on important responsibilities
and being able to supervise and train national teams. Good intentions
are not enough. This is why we look for people who can contribute
technical knowledge (water and sanitation, agriculture, rehabilitation),
organizational skills (support for management/administration, Human
Resources, logistics) and team management.
The term of commitment is initially one year, depending
on the position and geographical region. It can be renewed
according to the situation and requirements.
During the mission, alternate work/rest periods are organized by
SOLIDARITÉS. There are breaks between two work periods, with
one break every three months as follows: for a one year assignment,
expats get a one-week break at three months and at nine months (with
a contribution of 500 euros from SOLIDARITÉS); after 6 months,
a 15 - day break and return to France (departure and return fares
subsidized by SOLIDARITÉS).
Traineeships can also be offered in the field, working on our programmes.
The terms of such internships (insurance, travelling costs, breaks
and per diem) are the same as for a voluntary contract.
Trainees do not receive a monthly allowance apart from the per diem,
which is paid on-site. A traineeship agreement (convention de stage)
is obligatory.

What will my status be? What are the conditions?
Volunteers
The first assignment is usually a voluntary contract.
Volunteers receive a monthly allowance net of national insurance
and tax (i.e. volunteers do not make contributions to unemployment
benefits or pensions).
The allowance is based on the volunteer's professional experience:
- 0-1 year humanitarian work experience: 800 euros per month
- 1-2 years humanitarian work experience: 900 euros per
month
Traineeships can also be offered in the
field, working on our programmes. The terms of such internships
(insurance, travelling costs, breaks and per diem) are the
same as for a voluntary contract.Trainees do not receive a
monthly allowance apart from the per diem, which is paid on-site.
A traineeship agreement (convention de stage) is obligatory.
Employees
Coordination positions are salaried positions
(fixed-term contract) since they require a higher level of
experience. The salary for coordinators starts at 1700 euros
gross; country directors start at 2100 euros gross, with an
increase of 100 euros per year of employment. Other positions,
apart from coordination positions, may also be salaried (starting
at 1400 euros gross) based on the level of responsibility. |
Stages of Recruitment

by e-mail or telephone for an interview and a technical

have applied for: the test can be on administrative

recruitment program and will clarify your job description.
