And you, when will you join us?

Our HR policy is resolutely people-oriented.

We involve each and every one of them, without distinction, in the life and development of the association. We integrate the people who join us as best as possible, supporting them throughout their journey and in the development of their skills.

Sharing common values

Both in France and in the countries where it operates, Solthis relies on teams made up of individuals who share its values and are committed to working alongside it to improve the health of populations.

It is also a question of developing, together with all the actors involved, a scientific and multidisciplinary reflection process that will make it possible to provide innovative, high-quality solutions adapted to local realities.

Promoting diversity

Depending on the profiles, experience and individual projects of each person, several types of commitments under different statuses can be realised: employee, intern or volunteer.

Solthis is committed to the fight against all forms of discrimination and to the promotion of diversity and professional equality.

Contributing to professional development

Solthis enables all its employees (salaried, interns and volunteers in France and abroad) to contribute to its actions and also to fulfil their professional goals.

New hires receive a series of briefings to help them integrate as soon as they start their job.

Solthis frequently carries out performance evaluations to guarantee employees regular assessment of their actions and a space for discussion to express their expectations and any need for support. Among other things, Solthis has developed a training policy that allows everyone to acquire and develop the skills necessary to carry out the association’s mission.

In our countries of intervention

Expatriates

Solthis expatriates can be recruited as employees (fixed-term contract) or interns, depending on the position and experience.

Employees

The basic salary is defined by Solthis’ internal pay scale, according to the level of responsibility of the position and the expatriate’s experience.

Expatriate staff also receive a monthly allowance to partially cover living expenses in the country of assignment. The amount varies according to the cost of living in each country.

Insurance

Solthis provides health insurance, accident insurance, and medical repatriation insurance for its expatriate staff.

Transport to and from the mission

Solthis covers the cost of transporting an expatriate from their country of residence to their country of assignment at the beginning and end of the contract. Solthis also covers the cost of departure paperwork and visas. If the assignment lasts two years or more, a return ticket is covered for each year of the contract.

Accommodation

Expatriate personnel are accommodated individually or collectively, depending on the level of responsibility of the position, the duration and the context of the mission.

Family policy

Some expatriates are able to leave as a couple or as a family. This is possible for those leaving on a mission of at least twelve months in countries where the security conditions and the budget of the project for which the expatriate is hired allow it.

Security

Solthis does its utmost to ensure the safety of its expatriate teams through the ongoing analysis of the contexts in which our interventions take place and the implementation of security and evacuation protocols. Solthis has developed experience in intervening in fragile states for more than 20 years.

Interns

Interns are occasionally sent to countries where we work to provide technical support or to work on an operational research topic. An internship agreement is compulsory.

National staff

Employees under national law have a contract subject to national labour law.

Remuneration

National staff receive an annual salary determined according to their position within Solthis, the country of intervention and their previous experience (salary scale).

Benefits

Specific benefits may be granted depending on the country.

Would you like to join Solthis? Here are the key stages of the recruitment process.

Job, internship and volunteer opportunities at headquarters and in the countries of intervention (expatriates) are posted online on the website and updated regularly. Open positions in the countries are advertised on the platforms of the country of operation. Remember that going to a country of intervention is not a trivial decision but the culmination of professional and personal reflection.

Once we receive your application, you will get a confirmation email from our recruitment team.

Procedure for head office and senior field management positions

If your profile matches Solthis’ needs, you will be invited to take HR and written tests tailored to the position. If successful, you will then be invited to a technical interview, which will determine the final selection.

For expatriates, before the start of the mission, we try to organise briefings at Solthis headquarters in Paris as soon as possible. You will meet the various managers of the association who will introduce you to Solthis, its actions, the country of assignment, the mission and your referents. You will also meet with the HR manager to review the situation before departure, sign your contract and answer your HR questions.

Upon arrival in the field, you will also benefit from an integration and a handover when possible.

For head office employees, a handover or training will be organised at the beginning of the contract.

Procedure for other field positions

Employees with national status whose position is not classified as a senior management position are recruited directly by the teams in the field. Our job offers are advertised locally, but you can also apply by submitting an unsolicited application.

The recruitment procedure is broadly the same as for head office and senior field management positions.
