Kings Global Health Partnerships (KGHP) are excited to recruit for the new KGHP Fellowship to support systems strengthening across our partner countries. We are looking for nine senior Medics, Nurses and Midwives to support the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) funded Saving Lives Phase III programme in Sierra Leone. The programme aims to support the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) to deliver on improving maternal, child and reproductive health outcomes in the country, whilst strengthening health systems for a sustainable solution. KGHP will be leading a Clinical Mentorship programme across six districts in Sierra Leone to support Nurses and Midwives with vital lifesaving skills. The Fellow will support the development of a hospital education team underpinned by a continued professional development framework. Each member of the new education team will undergo a Leadership in Education programme delivered by the Fellow which will be co-created with the hospital management team. Two recruited Fellows in each district will support the education team set up morning teaching sessions which will be rolled out across the hospital. The education team will also conduct clinical mentoring on the wards supported by the Fellow. As part of this Mentorship cascade system, hospital education teams will visit community health centres to support smaller rural health clinics in a knowledge exchange programme. The Fellows will lead and support this exciting workforce and education development programme which is embedded in a large system strengthening project supported by a Concern Worldwide-led consortium of six NGOs across Sierra Leone.
All fellowship positions are appointed following an application and interview process. If you are interested in applying, please submit a cover letter and C.V to [email protected]. For any questions please contact Aneesah Peersaib, Director of Clinical Strategy – [email protected]. Interviews will be done on a rolling timeframe as applicants apply – once all fellowship positions are filled, the application process will be closed. The next round of fellows will travel to Sierra Leone in January or June (or earlier depending on candidates’ availability) so applicants are strongly advised to apply early. Thank you for your interest in King’s Global Health Partnerships.
