FAST runs entirely on volunteers — healthcare professionals who choose to stand with people on the move in Calais. Six days a week, our teams provide first aid, wound care and referrals from our mobile clinic, at the places where people sleep, shelter and wait.
Who we’re looking for
Doctors, nurses, paramedics, physios, final-year medical and nursing students, and experienced first aiders. You don’t need humanitarian experience — you need clinical skills, flexibility, and the ability to work with dignity and respect in a demanding environment. The working language is English.
What to expect
You’ll join a small team led by an experienced field coordinator, who will brief and support you throughout your stay. The work is practical and hands-on: treating wounds and infections, distributing hygiene supplies, referring people to specialised care. It is demanding — physically and emotionally — and it matters. All volunteers are offered a confidential wellbeing debrief during and after their placement.
