Position: Ground Team Lead

Organization: Agrasar

Agrasar’s Team in the time of such health crisis Agrasar has conceptualized a team which would work at multiple levels, contributing in advisory, strategic inputs and field support.

• Advisory and Connectors – They will advise on all matters of the Public Health Crisis, especially on epidemiological, clinical health and behavioural subjects. And, establish better networking with the administration and health care systems for a faster action and quick response. There is good database of networks and connects already available at this level, and Agarasar would be happy to add more to this list.
• Strategy (3-4) - They will be involved in building, developing and refining the preparedness strategy, overseeing the ground work, provide timely feedback and strategic inputs for improvisation. A couple of hours every alternate day and few hours over a weekend might be needed. Team of 2 has been identified, we are looking for 2-3 more at this front.
• Ground Action – This is the immediate requirement where Agrasar is on the lookout for someone who can come on board as a peer / team member and help in the ground work.

At present, we have pointed key tasks but we see this person as the prime motivator to drive the team, field staff and other stakeholders in finding solutions and driving response measures to build back better. He /she will be responsible for the following

•  Understand current relief response, recovery measures and preparedness plan (immediate, medium and long terms) instituted at the Panchayat/ district level
• Based on the factors known and unknown, draw out strategy and plan integrating all variables of public health crisis-causes, combat and mitigation
• Prepare a comprehensive plan at Civil Society level – What can an organization like Agrasar do as soon as the wave begins? Defining and Catching the Early Warning Indicators to get into action before it is too late.
• Submit a Plan to the concerned authorities to guide them on the better response –relief & recovery measures and preparedness plan and
• Actively contribute towards institutional capacity building.

This engagement will be an enriching experience for a professional who is ready to experience strategic planning, ground implementation and working with the community, govt and non govt actors. This will be a paid project for 04-06 months.

We believe compensation can be discussed when we find the right candidate for this work.
