Sustainable Paid Professional Voluntarism

The Ugandan Maternal and Newborn HUB Supporting Sustainable and Effective Professional Voluntarism

Funded Volunteer Positions Available for 2012/13

The Ugandan Maternal and Newborn Hub (the HUB) was formed in March 2011 to encourage greater cooperation and knowledge sharing between existing Health Care Partnerships working in the area of Maternal Health.

The following positions have been identified for the first recruitment round:

· Positions for obstetricians (x5)are available in a number of locations throughout the HUB (Hoima, the Kampala cluster, Kisiizi, Mbarara)

· Midwifery Positions (x3) are available in Mbale, Kisiizi and the Kampala Cluster

· A nursing position is available in Gulu (focused on paediatric nursing)

· An anaesthetic position is available in Mbale.

· A social science research position is available to work on a more peripatetic basis throughout the HUB.

· A position for a peripatetic bio-medical engineer.

The positions will be spread throughout the HUB locations. These vary quite significantly in terms of the size and role of the institutions and their rural-urban location. This locational element will shape the experience and role of the Fellows.

The funding provided (by THET, the RCOG and the Body Trust) will provide a stipend of £15,000 (per annum pro rata) payable in monthly installments. In addition the programme will cover the necessary international travel costs (one return journey to be booked via the project), indemnity and insurance cover and necessary pre-visit innoculations and anti-malarials for the duration of the stay.

Depending on the needs of the projects, accommodating where possible the needs of Fellows, placements will be a minimum duration of 6 months and a maximum of 12.

To assist Fellows in making their applications HUB members have prepared some information about the locations:http://www.ugandanmaternityhub.org/
