Location: Ethiopia
Closing date: 31 Oct 2017
TARGET e.V. Ruediger Nehberg has been fighting against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) for more than a decade, working closely with Islamic representatives. However, TARGET is neither religiously nor politically motivated.
TARGET operates a small obstetrics clinic in the Afar region zone 2 in Northern Ethiopia. The vast majority of girls and women in Afar have undergone Female Genital Mutilation Type II and III. This poses them at risk in particular during childbirth. Since mid-2015, the small TARGET Higher Obstetrics Speciality Clinic has been treating mutilated girls and women in Afar. The clinic serves as the only medical facility with operating room and 10 in-patient beds in its vicinity.
Together with a national team of nurses and midwives, a small laboratory, a German technician and a project coordinator, an international doctor currently supports the clinic management as medical coordinator and leading gynecologist. The team is helped by committed gynecologists from Europe volunteering in the clinic on a monthly basis.
For the succession of our current medical coordinator, we are looking for a medical specialist in gynecology and obstetrics. The position should be filled by February 2018.
As leading doctor and medical coordinator you need
a degree as medical doctor with specialization or proven experience in gynecology/obstetrics and sound work experience in an operation room (e.g. CS and related emergency obstetrics operations)
at least two years of professional experience
assertiveness and the ability to set priorities as well as to take initiative
in light of often being the only doctor on-site, willingness to assume medical responsibility for the clinic
experience in administration and management is an asset
travel or work experience in a developing country
fluent in English; knowledge of Arabic and/or German is an advantage
at least twelve months commitment to the job
