Introduction

Save the Children works in more than 120 countries. We save children's lives. We

fight for their rights. We help them fulfil their potential.

Regional Health Adviser based in our Asia Region

Between now and 2015, we have dedicated our organisation to supporting the

achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4, a two-thirds reduction in the rate

of under five mortality. Our health programmes are key to this goal and we are

seeking to dramatically expand the scale and impact of our work, both direct

interventions with communities, support to health systems at district and

national level and policy, advocacy and campaigns.

The Regional Health Adviser will provide support to Save the Children country

offices in the Asia region for the design and delivery of high-quality health

programmes, as part of our EVERY ONE newborn and child survival campaign. This

new post will play a critical role in raising new resources to support health

programmes, based on our theory of change and the three pillars of child rights

programming.

For this post, we are looking for a credible and authoritative voice on all

aspects of health policy with emphasis on maternal, newborn and child health and

health system strengthening. You will be effective in all aspects of health

situation analyses, programming cycle, fundraising proposals, policy analysis,

advocacy, recruitment, capacity-building, knowledge management and networking

within both development and emergency contexts. You will also support

health-related HIV work. Support will be delivered both from a distance and

through regular visits.
