International SOS is a rewarding place to work. The nature of our work means we respond to world events as they happen, so we look for individuals with a can-do attitude, who are creative and thrive on challenges.

Our job opportunities are diverse and include medical careers for doctors, nurses, medics, pharmacists, public health experts, aeromedical specialists and occupational healthcare professionals. We also offer positions in customer service, operations, risk management, security and more. 

While working at the French Embassy in Jakarta in the early 1980s, Pascal Rey-Herme, a French doctor, became aware of the need to deliver international standards of healthcare to the wider expatriate community and to international organisations in the region.

Together with his childhood friend Arnaud Vaissié, who had been in the United States managing a subsidiary of a large German financial group, they set up a business to provide international standards of medical care and emergency medical assistance in Southeast Asia.

This company, AEA International, was founded in 1985. Starting with just 15 staff, AEA International grew rapidly from its base in Singapore and Indonesia into a pan-Asian corporation, creating operating companies in Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and mainland China.

In 1998, AEA International acquired International SOS Assistance, and the business was renamed International SOS.
