The Senior Program Officer – Nurse Mentoring & Capacity Building supports state-level nurse mentoring and capacity-building functions under the NMFE intervention, while travelling regularly to districts to strengthen the clinical quality of maternal and newborn care at designated delivery points. The Senior Program Officer – NMCB works directly with government facility staff and district officials through review and quality platforms, and handholds Program Officers – NMCB, who lead district-level trainings on the ground — building systemic, lasting improvement rather than solving one-off problems.

  • Attend sector, block, and district-level review meetings to keep nurse mentoring priorities embedded in government platforms.
  • Provide facility-level inputs through NQAS, QIC, BQAC, and DQAC forums, driving progress toward NQAS and LaQshya certification for Maternity, NBSU, and SNCU units.
  • Assess facility and mentee competency, including OSCE-based evaluation, at district hospitals and SNCUs.
  • Coordinate with government counterparts — Civil Surgeons, DHOs, and MH Coordinators — to sustain institutional ownership of quality improvement.
  • Ensure timely, accurate reporting on facility assessments, training, and implementation progress, including data quality on government portals.
  • Support divisional and district-level nurse mentoring reviews in non-TAF districts, extending health systems strengthening reach.
  • Maintain resources of Aaradhya Jeevan intervention such as tools, curriculum, training materials etc. updated as per protocols.

Skills and Experience Required

  • BSc/MSc Nursing from a recognized institute, registered with a competent nursing authority.
  • 6+ years in facility-based maternal and newborn care or quality improvement, including supervising and mentoring clinical teams.
  • 3+ years experience in MNCHN public health programs.
  • Experience with structured facility assessments, OSCE-based evaluation, and simulation-based training methods.
  • Strong clinical grounding in labour room, SNCU, and newborn care practice, with working knowledge of NQAS/LaQshya standards.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach to clinical mentoring and facility-level problem-solving.
  • Fluency in Odia and English, written and spoken is essential.
