Careers at IMI

There is no typical day at Imamia Medics International.

On any given day, IMI HQ staff is just as likely to be stuffing envelopes for a membership mailing, as we are to be representing the incredible work done by IMI volunteers at the Scottish Parliament. We are just as likely to be bringing lifesaving access to healthcare in rural areas of India for many like Shahida, as to be ensuring financial compliance of IMI’s global operations with the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations.

With a world of activities, every day we rely on the dedication and energy of our staff, interns and volunteers. If you’re skilled and passionate, we’d like to add your energy to ours.
