TENDER OPPORTUNITY
Doctors of the World UK is inviting proposals from experienced branding agencies or consultants to conduct a comprehensive brand review and support the implementation of agreed recommendations.
As the UK chapter of the Médecins du Monde (MDM) international network, we provide emergency and long-term medical care to people facing barriers to healthcare in the UK and globally. Our work spans humanitarian responses in times of crisis, advocacy for universal access to healthcare, and direct support for marginalised communities including people seeking asylum, survivors of trafficking, undocumented people, and those with no fixed address.
As our UK programmes and advocacy grow, we are seeking to strengthen and clarify our UK brand identity while remaining aligned with the global MDM framework. We want to better communicate our unique dual role – delivering impact both in the UK and internationally – and ensure our brand resonates confidently with UK audiences in a complex public conversation around refugees and migrants.

STAFF ROLES
Doctors of the World UK (DOTW) is part of the global Médecins du Monde (MdM) network, which delivers over 400 projects in more than 70 countries, from Gaza and Ukraine, to Myanmar, Greece, DRC, Italy, and Nepal. We deliver both emergency and planned medical care, staying to support people for the long term. We advocate directly for the rights of everyone to access healthcare, no matter who they are or where they are from.
In the UK, we deliver our own domestic programme supporting people excluded from healthcare, including people seeking asylum and those experiencing homelessness, and call for an end to health inequalities to ensure access to healthcare for all.
Our vision is of a world in which people affected by war, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty, or exclusion get the healthcare they need.
UK VOLUNTEER ROLES
In the UK, Doctors of the World provides acute medical care and advocacy from our national advice line and casework, mobile clinic and outreach services.
Our work would simply not be possible without our amazing volunteers who provide a highly empathetic and practical service to our patients, supported by Doctors of the World staff.
Our committed, enthusiastic and impactful team is always looking to for new volunteers to join us. Our volunteers come from all walks of life. If you are welcoming, passionate about upholding rights to healthcare, enjoy challenges and working in a team, then consider joining us! We encourage people from all over the UK to apply.
You are welcome to volunteer remotely or mix remote and f2f, to suit your needs. We ask for a minimum time commitment, and that all volunteers are based in the UK.
We provide full training and support and can reimburse your travel and lunch expenses if you travel within London to volunteer with us face to face.
Those with lived experience of migration, the asylum system, homelessness or exclusion from health services are encouraged to apply.
Applicants will be shortlisted and notified weekly. Interviews will be held on a rolling basis. Applications that do not include both CV and Application form will not be considered. All applicants must be based in the UK.
As per national guidelines, everyone who has direct contact with people in healthcare settings should be up-to-date with routine immunisations – we will require proof of this for all face to face positions. If you are unsure of your vaccination status or have not been fully vaccinated, then you can speak to your GP. Vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) are part of the routine childhood immunisation schedule and both MMR vaccines and vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus and polio can be obtained for free from your NHS GP surgery. You will be able to volunteer after one month of receiving the vaccine.
