Job Description

As our Medical Consultant, your role is to ensure that every mother receives care that is safe, respectful, and effective; whether it’s through designing protocols, providing tailored insights and consultancy, or guiding critical interventions. You’ll provide medical oversight, strengthen maternal health practices, and translate medical expertise into community-driven solutions that save lives.
This role is central to our credibility, our impact, and our ability to deliver safe motherhood at scale.
You will:
  • Provide medical expertise to shape maternal care protocols and guidelines.
  • Support training and capacity building for healthcare workers and community partners.
  • Ensure compliance with national and global maternal health standards.
  • Offer clinical insights that inform programme design and strategy.
  • Monitor, review, and strengthen quality of care across project sites.
You’re not just a medical professional—you’re a champion of safe motherhood and a guardian of maternal health. You thrive in high-impact environments where compassion, evidence-based practice, and innovation intersect.

Requirements

  • 8–10 years of progressive experience in maternal and reproductive health, ideally within rural or resource-limited settings.
  • Proven expertise in maternal health protocols, obstetrics, gynaecology, or public health.
  • A strong track record of developing and implementing clinical guidelines, training health workers, and improving quality of care.
  • Ability to translate complex medical knowledge into practical, culturally sensitive solutions.
  • Comfort working across diverse teams and with community stakeholders.
  • Exceptional communication; you can guide health workers and inspire confidence in mothers alike.
  • A calm, steady approach in high-stakes situations; urgency without panic.
  • Ability to speak and understand Hausa is an advantage.
You’ll thrive if you’re also:
  • Impact-driven: You see beyond the clinic and understand how maternal care transforms families and communities.
  • Solution-oriented: When challenges arise in rural health delivery, you innovate and adapt quickly.
  • Collaborative: You work seamlessly with community health workers, leaders, and project teams.
  • Detail-focused: Because in maternal care, every step and every decision can mean the difference between life and loss.
  • Compassionate but firm: You uphold medical standards while building trust with the women and communities we serve.
