Other personal information
For field positions, in very few situations can we place families in our programs, and we aim not to separate families. For these reasons, we need to understand marital and family status, including the age of children under 18, to establish suitability of placement.
* Marital status
Applicants who are married: Medair’s placement options for an employee with accompanying spouse in the field is limited depending on location and position (for example senior or critical roles).
Date of Marriage
Medair is careful in placing people who have experienced a major life event less than one year ago in the field (for example marriage, loss, separation, divorce), as we see this as too many major life changes to deal with at the same time.
This policy does not apply for HQ positions.
* As you are married, has your spouse also applied to work with Medair?
* What is your spouse's name?
Date of Divorce
Medair is careful in placing people who have experienced a major life event less than one year ago in the field (for example marriage, loss, separation, divorce), as we see this as too many major life changes to deal with at the same time.
