    Health Systems Strengthening Consultant - Washington, United States - Population Services International

    Default job background
    Description

    Job Title:
    Health Systems Strengthening ConsultantDepartment: Health Systems AcceleratorBased in: Global Reports to: Director, Health SystemsWho we are


    PSI is a global non-profit organization focused on making it easier for all people to live healthier lives and plan the families they desire.

    PSI is reimagining healthcare, by putting the consumer at the center, and wherever possible - bringing care to the front door.

    We see consumer-powered healthcare as the sustainable path toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

    Our strategy sharpens PSI's focus on working more closely with national governments and partners to strengthen primary health care, private sector engagement - enabling public money to flow to private health care provision - and integrate self-care and digital health as critical components of future health systems.

    We want to shape mixed health systems, through which the consumer can more easily access quality products, services, and information without financial hardship.

    We also support governments to increase the resilience of their health systems to, for example, health emergencies or climate shocks.

    PSI's Health Systems Accelerator (HSA) will be leading this work, helping PSI intensify its contribution to country-level efforts to move towards UHC.

    What we are looking for


    The HSA is building a roster of health systems strengthening consultants to provide on-demand support to PSI country teams as they build their portfolios in health systems strengthening and health security.

    We are looking for experienced and energetic professionals with a solid understanding of health systems, strong strategic and analytical skills, experience working with national governments on health sector reform, including relating to health financing and the role of private providers in the delivery of essential health services, and with significant experience in fundraising.

    Sounds like you? Read on...

    Your contribution


    You will work closely with the PSI Country Representatives (CR) of the countries where assignments are to be conducted, under the supervision of the HSA's Director of Health Systems.

    You will receive technical guidance from the wider HSA team and possibly - depending on the nature of the assignment - from other Departments within PSI.

    Your contribution will be in any or all of the following areas:


    • Health system landscaping: Collect, analyze and synthesize information (e.g., through a desk review of existing documents, through key informant interviews...) relating to the country's health system environment (current situation, ongoing reforms, vision for the future) in relation to key areas, such as health financing, private sector engagement, health security, self-care, PHC, and others.
    • Support operationalization of country strategies: Support country teams to (i) identify opportunities and concrete entry points for PSI to contribute to the country's efforts to build mixed health system and accelerate progress toward UHC, (ii) translate these priorities into concrete activities, and (iii) help PSI country teams to build visibility and engage with Ministries.
    • Alignment of the operational plan to workplans and budgets: Work with country teams to identify ways to better align existing projects and budgets to the new strategic priorities and operational plan.
    • Development of new programming opportunities: Craft concept notes, project proposals and/or investment cases to mobilize additional funding for country-level HSS work as well as for the HSA itself.
    • Generation of evidence: Conduct analytical work to build the evidence base for specific innovative approaches or interventions.
    • Development of knowledge products: Document and package the learnings from PSI's innovative work, especially in the area of mixed health systems, to help us tell our story in a compelling way to a range of internal and external stakeholders.
    • Capacity building: Develop materials and (innovative) approaches to effectively build capabilities within PSI (especially at country level) in areas of health systems strengthening (HSS) that are relevant to PSI's global strategy, such as private sector engagement, self-care, health financing, and health security.
    Your profile

    We are looking for someone with the following background/profile:


    • Graduate degree in Health Economics, Health Financing, Public Health or a related field
    • Minimum of 10 years of experience in the international development sector with increasing levels of responsibility
    • Minimum of five years of relevant experience in health systems reforms, preferably working closely with or within national governments
    • Experience in "institutionalization" of programs/projects within government systems
    • Experience working with a diverse range of stakeholders (including different types of donors)
    • Strong strategic and analytical skills
    • A keen sense of urgency and strong work ethic, positive mindset, and comfort with the ambiguity and pace of a dynamic environment.
    • Strong interpersonal skills
    • Excellent writing and presentation skills
    • Fluency in written and oral English (fluency in written and oral French, Spanish and/or Portuguese desired)
    • A passion for improving the lives of the women, men and children that PSI serves.
    Candidates may be based anywhere globally.

    Specifics


    The successful candidate(s) will be set up on an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for a period of one year (this is similar to a framework agreement).

    Individual Task Orders will be issued under the IQC with specific details for that assignment, including detailed scope of work, expected deliverables, exact dates, and number of days allotted for completion of the task.
