• Support district officials to organise trainings and orientations for frontline health workers, and hold joint ASHA and ANM meetings to stop the spread of dengue and malaria.
• Visit health facilities, the district hospital and high-risk areas to see how the programme is running, spot gaps, and raise them with district health officials through clear field visit reports.
• Work with the district vector borne disease control department and logistics officers to keep testing kits and medicines in stock, including regular visits to the district store and timely ordering.
• Track cases in affected areas, follow up with each patient, and make sure suspected cases from village and urban health and nutrition days and outreach camps are referred to health facilities on time.
• Check the quality of data sent in by facilities, support daily reporting with the MIS team, and make sure case details are uploaded to the HMIS portal with the District Health Society.
• Take part in city coordination meetings and District and State Health Society meetings, and support the City Implementation Lead in meeting programme targets.

• The ability to lead, hold yourself and others to account, and keep learning on the job.

Benefits

• Direct experience working with district and state health systems on a programme that protects communities from dengue and malaria.
• A workplace that values coaching and growth, where mistakes are treated as a chance to learn.
• An equal opportunity employer that welcomes qualified people regardless of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or disability.
