Today, many unaccompanied minors present in the Ile de France territory are left to their own devices, wandering. They do not benefit from any protection measures even though their medical, administrative and social situation is alarming and their access to care remains difficult.
In 2023, Médecins du Monde carried out a diagnosis of needs, highlighting in particular the need for a daytime respite place dedicated to unprotected unaccompanied minors and those on the street to be open.
Taking into account its expertise and experiences with this public, MdM wishes to contribute to the opening and structuring of such a place within which several actors will intervene in order to meet the needs of unaccompanied minors.
Under the supervision of the general coordinator of the Paris site, you will be responsible for defining the structuring of the health component within the respite place in conjunction with other health stakeholders, while proposing and formalizing an intervention strategy with Unaccompanied Minors not supported by child protection in Île-de-France, and more particularly being on the street in Paris.
