The hospital is connected historically and operationally to a number of other health institutions. All the local partner institutions depend on each other in order to be able to act as a platform for health care, training and research. Through the support of volunteers there is real potential to strengthen Ifakara as a centre of excellence in healthcare, training and research.

In order to allow the hospital to fulfill its role as a regional referral and teaching hospital, quality of services need to be improved through better infrastructure, strengthening of the financial and human resource management and by ensuring availability of qualified staff, equipment and drugs. Swiss Development Cooperation and VSO are supporting the SFRH to improve its quality of healthcare services in a sustainable way by offering accessible and affordable quality services to the population and providing excellent training and research opportunities to the local partner institutions. Based in the hospital as the hospital theatre management specialist, you’ll work closely with the head of nursing, theatre nurse-in-charge, and heads of surgery and gynaecology departments, plus the theatre team of the hospital.

• Support the senior theatre nurse-in-charge to strengthen departmental leadership to offer quality services to patients, including developing standard operation procedures. • Working with the senior theatre nurse-in-charge to establish infection control measures including sterilization of equipment and materials • Proving support to the senior nurse-in-charge of the department to develop instruments to monitor and control the use of resources including equipment and materials.

Skills, qualifications and experience required

You’ll be a registered qualified nurse or technician in theatre management and have practiced for 5 years or more in a hospital. You’ll have the ability and experience to teach, train and mentor staff and develop specific goals and plans for trainees. It is desirable but not essential to have worked in Africa. You will need to be available for the period of project, 3 years or a minimum of 2 years with the flexibility and availability to travel and come to train for 12 weeks in a year, (2 weeks every 2 months). We are looking for someone who is a team worker with good social and interpersonal skills and networking abilities.

And the rest....

Ifakara in the south of Tanzania is an authentic savannah grassland area that is green during the rainy season and brown in the dry season. Daytime temperatures vary between 32-39 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Southern Tanzania is home to some of Africa's best national parks and game reserves. There is some good hiking around Mbeya, the largest town in the southwest, but it's the country's two largest parks, Ruaha National Park and Selous Game Reserve that’s worth a visit. We’ll ask you to commit to 12 weeks per year for up to 3 years to make a sustainable contribution. In return, we’ll give you comprehensive financial, personal and professional support. We'll provide you with extensive training including language classes before your placement, and our financial package includes a local living allowance, return flights, accommodation, insurance and more.
