Because 50% of the world’s population lives near a coast, our floating hospitals are the best way to reach and treat people in need. WHY AFRICA? Because there are only two physicians per 10,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa, many people suffer and die from treatable conditions. WHY YOU? It takes a wide range of people and skills to run a hospital ship, and our all-volunteer crew makes it happen. If you want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others — including yours — we’d love to meet you. Edward Carew, Diving Team Leader | Canary Islands LIFE ON BOARD. A COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER. Our Mercy Ships community is unique and special. Compassionate volunteers from all over the world join together, living and working toward a common mission. Serving with Mercy Ships offers the chance to build friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime. Community life is one of the most rewarding aspects of life on board. Not only will your service with Mercy Ships make a difference in the lives of others—it will impact your own life, too. * Housing * Dining * Amenities * Adventure * Education * Family * Training * Safety Previous Next HOUSING Your personal Space Our cabins are small, but cozy. Most of our Crew will share a cabin and a bathroom with multiple ‘cabin-mates’, with a bunk and a small closet to call their own. Each cabin is equipped with WiFi and A/C, with magnetic wall space to put up pictures of your loved ones. Couples and families have their own cabins, and single cabins for our Maritime Officers. DINING Tasty & Healthy Fare Our Food Services department serves delicious and nutritious meals three times a day in the onboard dining room. There’s a snack bar and even a Starbucks café on board. When the occasional craving for a homemade dish strikes, cook up whatever you like in the crew galley. Limited groceries can be purchased at local markets or from the Ship Shop, our onboard convenience store. AMENITIES The Comforts of Home Each ship is like a small city and includes anything you might need. There’s a laundry room, hair salon, bank, post office, weight room, internet café/WiFi, a lending library with movies and board games, a swimming pool, and even a clinic for crew medical and dental care. ADVENTURE Work Hard, Play Hard Serving with Mercy Ships includes the adventure of discovering new places. Each country we serve in has its own culture and beauty. Our crew are encouraged to engage with the people we have come to serve, and even learn new languages! You can explore the local markets, attractions, and restaurants, or attend a local church. EDUCATION Two Ships. Two Schools. One Mission & Vision. From kindergarten to high school, the Academy students learn everything they would discover in schools on land — and more. It is internationally accredited and meets educational standards of quality. It is a place where children can experience the unique aspects of life on board our ships with people from all over the world. FAMILY Volunteer Together Mercy Ships is able to accommodate volunteers with families for many of our long-term roles onboard. We have an accredited 12-grade Academy onboard specifically for crew children! Lesson plans include curriculum taught in a normal classroom environment, with the added benefits of international learning opportunities and experiences. TRAINING Ongoing Opportunities We want our volunteers to grow and thrive while serving onboard. That’s why we provide ongoing training opportunities as a way of investing in the future of our crew members. SAFETY Committed to our Crew We take the safety of our crew and patients very seriously. Our team of experienced security officers are committed to keeping everyone safe and secure. MANY OF US ARE AWAY FROM OUR FAMILIES OR AWAY FROM OUR FRIENDS, BUT IT CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU START TO LEAN ON ONE ANOTHER. WE HAVE A COMMUNITY HERE. YOU WORK WITH THE SAME PEOPLE AS YOU EAT, AS YOU PLAY, AS YOU WORSHIP. SO, WE BECOME EACH OTHER'S COMMUNITY." JOFF WILLIAMS (MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE GLOBAL MERCY) “ I THINK YOU GET LIFELONG FRIENDS IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN I’VE DONE BACK HOME. I LIKE THE VARIETY OF PEOPLE, CULTURES, AND VIEWS.” MARIA EKSTRAND — DINING ROOM TEAM LEADER “ WHAT MAY SEEM LIKE A CRAZY DECISION, WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING AND MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES OF YOUR LIFE. I STILL REMEMBER OUR PATIENTS FACES, I STILL REMEMBER THEIR STORIES, AND I KNOW THERE’S SO MANY MORE PEOPLE LIKE THAT WHO STILL NEED HELP.” DR. JOE PARK (ANESTHESIOLOGIST, AFRICA MERCY, SENEGAL) “ THE MORE I’M SEEING [PEOPLE’S LIVES BEING TRANSFORMED], I REALIZE THIS ISN’T ME GIVING AWAY TWO YEARS, IT’S ME GAINING TWO YEARS. FOR ME, IT’S MORE LIKE A GIFT.” EUGENE AMPADU (VIDEOGRAPHER, AFRICA MERCY, SENEGAL) “ MANY OF US ARE AWAY FROM OUR FAMILIES OR AWAY FROM OUR FRIENDS, BUT IT CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU START TO LEAN ON ONE ANOTHER.

Mercy Ships needs volunteer medical professionals, maritime officers, teachers, administrators, I.T. specialists, accountants, cooks, and so much more. Find your place on board! Applying is easy and secure, and it’s only together that we are able to bring hope and healing. View All Opportunities Step 1 APPLY WITH US Find a position that interests you here to start your application. The more details & documentation you can provide upfront, the faster the rest of the steps will take! These include your CV or resume and copies of any relevant licensure and certificates. The application length varies by role, but if you ever need to step away, don't worry — you can always log back in and finish your application later. Once your application is submitted to Mercy Ships, you'll be directed to your online Portal for the next steps. Step 2 APPLICATION UNDER REVIEW The team at Mercy Ships will review your application and documentation submitted, and will let you know if we need any further details from you. During this step in the process, you may receive a request for a video pre-screen via our online tool, Spark Hire. Some positions and circumstances also require an interview with someone from our Human Resources team. At this point in the process, we collaborate to ensure you're qualified for the role for which you've applied and whether Mercy Ships is a good match for you! Step 3 WAITING PERIOD If the position for which you've applied is not immediately available, you can join our Talent Community of volunteers who are awaiting their opportunity to join us! We keep you informed of any updates with the position and will give you some insider information so you can stay on top of Mercy Ships news! Step 4 ACCEPTANCE LETTER Once the position and your availability align, the application team will work with you to tie up any loose ends and will send your acceptance letter and information! This will outline all the details you need to know regarding your commitment on board — your confirmed volunteer dates, any costs, required training, and outline your next steps. In between receiving your offer letter and joining one of our ships, you may be contacted by others from Mercy Ships with resources for fundraising, On Boarding, and preparing for your time with us! Step 5 GET ON BOARD! This is, of course, the most exciting step in the process — when you travel to join one of our ships. Nothing beats the feeling you get from walking up the gangway for the first time, and we're excited to take this journey with you — bringing hope and healing.
