Job Description
Job Title: Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Technical Officer
Position Summary
The Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Technical Officer will coordinate and oversee the quality implementation and M&E of community-level SBC activities to increase uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. The role will focus heavily on ensuring strong community engagement to improve the link between SBC activities in line with available vaccine supply. SBC strategies will be formulated in coordination with national government efforts to ramp up COVID-19 vaccination efforts, as well as in alignment with relevant national policies, and stakeholder efforts. The SBC Technical Officer will be responsible for: 1) conducting program preparatory activities, like community mapping, facilitating design workshops with audiences and stakeholders, and contributing to the design of community-level SBC strategies; 2) overseeing the day-to-day implementation and M&E of SBC activities. This may include responsibilities like facilitating trainings, conducting, or supporting community dialogs, integrating SBC tools and approaches into faith, school, and other community-based structures, and ensuring overall quality and M&E data collection. Across both sets of activities, it is expected that the SBC Technical Officer will work closely with local government partners, will seek to align implementation of SBC activities with services, and will coordinate with other FHI 360 COVID-19 and communitybased activities to increase synergies and impact. This project will apply learning and use tools and design activities to address key determinants of vaccine uptake, fill gaps, and reduce vaccine hesitancy. This position will be a 11-month position subject to extension based on the availability of funding.
