Infield Logistician (Volunteer) At CADUS – Redefine Global Solidarity e.V.

Almost one year after the start of the war in Ukraine, the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. The displacement of civilians and the overall humanitarian needs are enormous. According to the UN, more than 7.9 million people have left the country to seek safety and refuge in other countries. Additionally, at least 6 million people are believed to have been displaced within Ukraine.

As a humanitarian organization, Cadus has been working in Ukraine since March ’22 to support local capacities in their emergency relief operations. In the current program, Cadus is focusing on complementing existing MedEvac capacities and provides medical training to local professionals and volunteers. As a staff member in this project, doctors, nurses and paramedics work together with staff from our local partner organizations within the field of medical evacuations.

Being the logistician in the field, you will work in close coordination with the team leads on site and the project management in Berlin. In addition, this position gives you the opportunity to explore your areas of interest and to learn and make a special contribution to them.
