HIFA seeks a Global Supporting Organisation Coordinator

Are you:

The position of Global Supporting Organisation Coordinator is currently available, starting February 2024.  

 

All HIFA SOs support the HIFA vision: a world where every person will have access to the reliable healthcare information they need to protect their health and the health of others. Some SOs also provide financial support and/or technical support.  There are currently more than 400 Supporting Organisations worldwide (see logos below), with many leading organisations in all sectors of global health: public sector, academic, NGO, and private sector. See the full list here: http://www.hifa.org/support/supporting-organisations

 

Who can apply? Anyone can apply. If you are an early career professional in global health, healthcare, or information services, this post will undoubtedly bring you lots of new opportunities. Older and more experienced persons are also very welcome to apply. 
 

• As the HIFA Supporting Organisation Coordinator you will work with the HIFA coordinator, HIFA Steering Group and other volunteers to support communications with and among the SOs, and help to leverage their support for HIFA and the implementation of the HIFA Strategy 2022-2024. You will receive support and training, including how to moderate the HIFA Supporting Organisation mini-forum (similar to the main HIFA forum). 

• Volunteer basis initially (potential for microsalary later, subject to funding)

• 6 months initially, renewable

• Flexible working 2-4 hours/week, virtually, at your convenience

 

We are especially keen to start a programme of regular (6-monthly) meetings for Supporting Organisations, to explore priority topics in the availability and use of reliable healthcare information; to engage more in the strategic development of HIFA and resource mobilisation; and to learn more about the work of individual SOs.
