SolidarMed is an established yet innovative Swiss NGO
focusing on health in Africa. The aim of our work is to improve health in rural
areas of the poorest countries in Africa. As a response to the shortage of
doctors in rural areas of Zambia, since 2009, SolidarMed has been supporting the
Zambian national training programme for Associate Clinicians, which in Zambia
are called "Medical Licentiates (MLs)". Within this programme,
Chainama College of Health Sciences (CCHS) in Lusaka is SolidarMed's main
partner. The College offers post-graduate training for Clinical Officers who
are awarded a Bachelor's degree (BSc Medical Licentiate). Training cycles are
divided into theoretical components taught at CCHS, and into clinical
attachments (e.g. in medicine, surgery, and obstetrics) at accredited training
sites.
SolidarMed offers an exciting opportunity to work closely with CCHS in Lusaka, Zambia. For this key position we are looking for an experienced professional with strong management skills, and an academic background in medical sciences and/or public health.
Key tasks and responsibilities will be:
• Support CCHS in successfully carrying out and developing further the ML training programme.
• Offer assistance in the process of CCHS becoming a degree-awarding University College.
• Contribute to the institutional development of the ML Department and strengthen its academic, managerial, operational and strategic capacities.
• Depending on background, contribute to theoretical training of students at CCHS in Lusaka.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of an operational research agenda for the SolidarMed Zambia programme.
• Regular use of project cycle management tools (planning, reporting etc.)
To best fit into our team, we are looking for a candidate with the following qualifications:
• Strong management, organisational, and capacity building skills and experience
• Preferably medical background. Training at postgraduate level in International Public Health would be an asset.
• Experience of working in Africa
• Experience of working in a public and/or academic service institution, interest in teaching and interacting with students
