The role of a Consultant, Pediatrics at Partners in Health and Development (PHD) involves leading clinical operations in Kutubdia’s Upazila Health Complexes under a project aimed at improving health services for displaced Rohingya populations and host communities. This full-time position requires a blend of clinical expertise, administrative coordination, and compliance with donor and government protocols. You’ll work closely with UNICEF and local authorities to deliver quality care while managing reports, mentoring staff, and ensuring adherence to safety and ethical standards. The role is demanding, requiring both technical skills and adaptability to field conditions.
• Clinical expertise in managing pediatric cases, including emergency interventions, is critical
• Proficiency in neonatal and child health care, with experience in both routine and emergency setups
• Strong record of working in multicultural environments, particularly with displaced populations
• Familiarity with donor-funded projects, especially those under the World Bank or UNICEF
• Ability to conduct regular ward rounds, supervise inpatient care, and mentor junior staff
• Experience in preparing time-bound reports for donors and government bodies
• Willingness to engage in training on ESS (Emergency Services System), PSEA (Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse), and other compliance protocols
• Prior involvement in public health facilities, particularly those supported by international donors
Candidates should highlight local experience in Bangladesh’s health sector, especially in NGOs or INGOs, and demonstrate a clear understanding of field-based challenges. Emphasize any work with marginalized communities or in hard-to-reach areas, as these align with the project’s focus. If you’ve worked under World Bank-supported programs, mention that explicitly. Also, showcase your ability to navigate bureaucratic processes and maintain strict compliance with donor requirements.
Education and certifications should be presented clearly, with FCPS or DCH as primary qualifications. If you hold a DCH, ensure your experience matches the 4-5 years requirement in pediatrics, child health, or related fields. Include any additional training in ESS, CFM (Child Friendly Monitoring), or PSEA policies. Certifications in data management tools like DHIS2 or software used for reporting will strengthen your profile.
• Knowledge of DHIS2 for data entry and confidentiality protocols
• Comfort with WhatsApp/Viber for real-time communication with healthcare teams
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office for report preparation
• Understanding of supply chain management to prevent stock shortages
• Experience in coordinating patient referrals and transportation logistics
Interview preparation should focus on demonstrating both technical competence and cultural awareness. Bangladeshi employers often value honesty, practical experience, and alignment with national health priorities. Be ready to discuss your past work in similar settings, how you handle field challenges, and your approach to compliance. Practice concise answers that reflect your ability to balance clinical responsibilities with administrative tasks. Avoid vague statements—use specific examples to showcase your skills.
1. Review the project’s objectives and donor requirements to understand the context
2. Prepare case studies or examples of past work involving multicultural teams or donor-funded projects
3. Practice explaining how you would handle ESS compliance, spot checks, or supply chain issues
4. Anticipate questions about your ability to work in remote areas and manage 24/7 responsibilities
5. Rehearse responses to scenarios involving ethical dilemmas or team coordination
Ensure all documents are well-organized: CV, cover letter, passport photo, and references. The cover letter should clearly state your intent, qualifications, and how your experience matches the role. Highlight your commitment to PHD’s zero-tolerance policies on discrimination and child protection. During the interview, maintain professionalism, show eagerness to contribute, and ask thoughtful questions about the project’s impact. Finally, confirm your availability and readiness to adhere to field protocols, including punctuality and ethical conduct.
