About this role

FHI 360 is recruiting a Regional Technical Officer for Community Engagement on its HIV programme in Mtwara, Tanzania, to provide technical and programmatic oversight for community and facility-based interventions that strengthen linkage to care, antiretroviral treatment initiation, treatment continuity, and re-engagement of adults, children and adolescents. The post-holder supports evidence-based strategies that improve ART linkage, retention and re-engagement, and contributes to tools and standard operating procedures underpinning community-based HIV service delivery. The officer helps roll out strategic communication packages that create demand for HIV prevention, testing, TB and STI services and treatment adherence.

Candidates must be fluent in English and Swahili, proficient with Microsoft Office, and able to interpret programme data and prepare reports. Experience with NGOs and government agencies is expected, and no separate preferred qualifications are listed.
