The post-holder provides technical expertise supporting scale-up of comprehensive TB prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment, emphasising integration of TB and HIV services across Police and Prison health facilities and stronger public facility services so that cases are detected early and treatment completed.

A medical or nursing degree from a recognised institution is required, and a master's degree in public health is an advantage. Candidates need at least four years of progressive experience in TB and TB/HIV programming, preferably within donor-funded public health programmes, and demonstrated experience providing technical assistance to government health authorities, regional and council health management teams and implementing partners.
