Job Description

The Administrative Officer ensures the efficient and effective function of the WFSA office, including support to the finance manager. Join our small but busy team and help us to achieve our vision of universal access to safe anaesthesia.

5 billion of the world's 7 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable, timely surgery and anaesthesia. 17 million people die each year from surgically treatable conditions (that's more than 4 times the number who die from HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria combined).

If that sounds wrong to you and you are an experienced office administrator with a desire to make a difference then this could be your perfect job.
