The non-profit organization New Incentives is seeking to identify field workers to help expand its team dedicated to preventing child mortality in Bauchi, kaduna, kebbi, Gombe, Niger, Sokoto and Yobe States, Nigeria. This position is strictly for contingency purposes and to identify candidates for future (potential) scaling up.
Field workers will support the New Incentives program, which uses cash transfers to encourage mothers to complete their children’s immunization program. The program is managed in collaboration with the State Primary Health Care Development Board in the states. The main task of the position will be to register beneficiaries at public clinics. Field workers are full-time employees and work in clinics across the states and must already be based/resident in one of the cities within the states, if applicable.

In recent years, Nigeria has significantly expanded the availability of childhood immunization services. Despite this progress on the supply side, demand for vaccines remains relatively low. New incentives encourage mothers to fully immunize their children through cash transfers, ensuring that their children are protected from deadly diseases.
