Hospital theatre management specialist, Tanzania
VSO is the world's leading independent international development
organisation that brings people together to fight poverty. We are
looking for a Diagnostic imaging adviser for a volunteer placement with a
difference; 2 weeks every 2 months, for 2-3 years.
Background The St. Francis Referral Hospital (SFRH) is located in
Ifakara, Southern Tanzania and has a capacity of 400 beds and attracts
approximately 700,000 referral patients per year from Kilombero and
other neighbouring districts. 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.
What does the role involve?
• 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. You should be able to handle conflicts in a constructive
consultative way and have a flexible personality, adapting easily to new
situations, and being able to set realistic expectations on working in a
hospital in the tropics.
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
