Médecins Sans Frontières Ward Supervisor Curriculum Content Developer Jobs in Kenya
Context
The MSF Academy for Healthcare(Médecins Sans Frontières Academy)is an intersectional training initiative that focuses on strengthening the skills and competencies of frontline healthcare workers, with the will to have a long-term impact on the quality of care provided in the countries where MSF intervenes.
The specificity of the approach adopted by the MSF Academy lies in its focus on supporting the learners while on the job: our team members in countries of intervention are solely dedicated to learning and competency development of the learners.
Our objective is to maintain a uniform educational approach in all our projects: competency-based learning; on-the-job training with the presence of strong tutors or clinical mentors; while striving to achieve appropriate accreditations for all trainings, often in collaboration with partner teaching institutes.
The programme is managed by a global team composed of 5 project managers, 10 technical experts (in nursing sciences, pedagogy, clinical mentoring, clinical medicine, and administration) and additional ad hoc resources (e.g., technical expertise and training content writers). The team also consists of tutors for the individual support of participants in our e-learning programmes. The teams working on our projects in Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, Mali, South Sudan, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Yemen are composed of representatives, pedagogical managers and clinical mentors.
They are responsible for developing project-specific strategies, ensuring successful implementation of our learning programs and networking with the concerned MSF projects and other stakeholders. We have a growing portfolio of projects addressing specific learning objectives for different categories of healthcare professions in MSF. All these projects are chosen in line with overall MSF operational and medical priorities.
The Medical Directors’ Platform has recently tasked the Academy to develop a training curriculum to strengthen the competencies of Hospital Ward Supervisors by reinforcing their autonomy on the global overview and management of the wards.
This includes among others, strengthening their management skills, interprofessional collaboration abilities, coaching and bedside supervision skills, data collection and analyses, problem-solving abilities, time management and HR management. A needs assessment is currently being finalised along with a mapping of all potential beneficiaries of such a program.
As MSF Academy Ward Supervisor curriculum Content Developer, you are in charge of developing material and adapting existing ones to build a comprehensive-competency-based modular curriculum on ward supervision, including tools to facilitate the delivery of the programme in the different targeted contexts.
The training program’s objective is to improve the quality of supervision in MSF-supported hospital wards through the strengthening of the ward supervisors’ (mainly nurses and midwives) competencies.
You report to the Deputy Director of the MSF Academy, and both the Nursing and the Midwifery referents are your functional managers.
You are in close interaction with the pedagogical experts of the Academy, with the various Hospital Management Units (HMUs) of the different Operational Centres (OCs), as well as with the Nursing Care Working Groups (NCWG) and the SRHWG (Sexual and Reproductive Health Working Groups).
