The
Welbodi Partnership is a UK charity that supports child health care in Sierra Leone through the Sierra Leone Institute for Child
Health (SLICH). SLICH is a joint project between the Ministry of Health and
Sanitation, the Ola During Children’s Hospital and the Welbodi Partnership to
create a centre of excellence in paediatric care. It forms part of the
Government of Sierra Leone’s Strategic Plan for Reproductive and Child Health
and is funded by Comic Relief and others.
Ola
During is Sierra Leone’s only children’s hospital and is located in
the poor and densely-populated eastern part of Freetown. More than 15,000
patients are treated at the hospital each year. The hospital is under-resourced
and providing adequate care is an on-going challenge.
The Sierra Leone Institute of Child Health
(SLICH) has a vacancy for a nurse educator, with significant experience in
paediatrics and in developing countries, to develop in-service modules in
paediatric nursing for the nurses of the national Children’s Hospital in Sierra
Leone and to train national nurse educators to help deliver these.
This
rewarding position offers a unique opportunity to be involved in the
development of human and institutional capacity, crucial for the rebuilding of
the health system in Sierra Leone. The
successful candidate will be employed and managed by the Welbodi Partnership, a
UK registered charity, on behalf of SLICH.

To apply, please
email a CV and covering letter by Sunday 27th May 2012 for the
attention of Dr Emily Spry
