Healthcare Network Coordinator

At the World Health Organization, we are committed to building the capacity of Member States to assess, prevent and manage health emergency risks. As a Healthcare Network Coordinator, you will play a crucial role in leading and coordinating the international health response to contain all hazard emergencies.

The mission of the Division of WHO Health Emergencies is to enhance WHO's operational, technical and normative capacities in health emergencies and risk analysis. The Programme operates within the broader humanitarian and emergency management architecture in support of people at risk of, or affected by, outbreaks and emergencies.

You will be responsible for participating in the WHO Secretariat of the Pan-European Network for Disease Control (NDC), supporting the functioning of the NDC, and contributing to its expansion through the inclusion of additional members. You will also coordinate closely with the Steering Group (SG) to establish the NDC and ensure its full functionality, including administrative support as needed.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop and implement work plans, prepare technical and progress reports, and provide essential support to the SG in overseeing the implementation of the NDC activities. You will also draft necessary reports and meeting minutes for the SG and prepare SG and annual meetings of the Network, including documentation distribution to the members and working groups.

We are seeking an individual with excellent knowledge in preparedness for humanitarian and health emergencies and emerging diseases in an international context. You should have strong skills related to managing international coalitions and networks, and proven ability to create a positive, inclusive and supportive coalition and network environment. You should also have demonstrated knowledge in Collaborative surveillance and/or infectious disease epidemiology, prevention or control, and ability to conduct research and analyze results, make conclusions and recommendations for strengthening collaborative surveillance.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team and contribute to the development of innovative, collaborative and sustainable approaches to capacity building. If you are passionate about public health and have a strong background in project management, network coordination, and healthcare, we encourage you to apply.
