Role Overview

This role leads integrated HIV and TB service delivery across project-supported health facilities in the county, helping teams apply current guidelines and improve outcomes from testing through treatment retention and viral suppression.

• Help shape project work plans and service-delivery approaches, using performance evidence to address gaps in testing, linkage to care, retention, and viral load suppression.
• Work with ministries of health, county and local authorities, and non-governmental partners to strengthen health-system capacity and facility-to-community referral pathways.
• Engage county leadership and technical working groups in transition planning, including the development of county-specific roadmaps, stronger domestic resourcing, and accountability for continued services.
• Track progress against donor requirements, project targets, and milestones; guide data-informed quality improvement and contribute to technical reporting.
• Document and share project results, lessons, promising practices, and technical learning through appropriate knowledge products.
• Serve as the county project focal person, supervising county-based staff and coordinating their day-to-day work, operational support, and accountability.
• Undertake other related duties assigned by the supervisor.

• Ability to engage effectively across national, county, sub-county, and facility-level health structures.
• Demonstrated analytical, problem-solving, communication, interpersonal, and capacity-building skills.
• Ability to build and sustain effective working relationships with county officials, health colleagues, private-sector stakeholders, and implementing partners.
