New Incentives is seeking to identify a Field Manager to help expand its team dedicated to preventing child mortality in the North East and North West. This position is strictly for internal candidates.
The Field Manager will support a New Incentive program that uses cash transfers to encourage mothers to complete their children’s immunization program. The program is managed in collaboration with the North East and North West Primary Health Development Council.
The Field Manager’s primary role will be to manage a team of Assistant Field Managers and Field Officers who will in turn distribute cash transfers to public clinics to increase immunization coverage and retention. The primary duties of this position include: Responsible for high quality program operations in selected clinics and providing leadership to selected staff members resulting in increased immunization coverage and retention while maintaining relationships with employees, staff of the clinic and other interested parties.
Field managers are full-time employees and supervise field workers in clinics in the states we operate in and must be based/resident in one of the cities/LGAs in the states.
Background:
In recent years, Nigeria has significantly expanded the availability of childhood immunization services. Despite this progress on the supply side, demand for vaccination remains relatively low. New Incentives encourages mothers to fully immunize their children through cash transfers, ensuring that their children are protected from deadly diseases.
