Program Summary:
Since Hurricane Melissa, Project HOPE has been supporting Jamaican communities by distributing hygiene items, food, water, medical supplies for hospitals, and other essential items.
Due to the widespread damage to primary healthcare facilities (PHCs) in western Jamaica, Project HOPE will operate four MOH PHCs for six months. For each facility, we are hiring 2 doctors, 2 nurses, 1 pharmacist, and 1 cleaner to support existing staff. These teams will be trained in Psychological First Aid (PFA) to ensure they can provide PFA to patients.
In addition to the four static clinics, there will be one mobile medical team with the same staff composition. This team will travel between isolated communities to provide care at multiple locations.
The PHCs will be located in either eastern Westmoreland, eastern St. Elizabeth, southern St. James, or Trelawny. Specific locations will be confirmed in the coming week.
Prospective staff will need to reach the clinic locations on a daily basis.
This role is offered as a consultancy position based in Jamaica and open to local nationals only. We are looking to fill ten (10) positions. Theses consultants will be based in one of the following parishes: eastern Westmoreland, eastern St. Elizabeth, southern St. James, or Trelawny. This is a six-month consultancy under a short-term contract.
POSITION SUMMARY:
