In particular a new pediatric wing is being built , which will increase the number of children who can be treated. To ensure that the hospital is able to serve its large catchment area of 760,000 people, of which approximately 50,000 are living with AIDS, the HR function of the hospital is key. You role will be to develop a new HR databse to enable data collection and reporting to support the recruitment and development of staff at the hospital. By providing automated processes for the HR department, you’ll increase productivity and enable staff in this department to provide a faster and more accurate service.

> Networking the HR department with other hospital departments.
> Developing computer-based MIS for the HR department.
> Providing standardised formats for reporting.

And the rest…
You’ll be based in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, a lively city where you’ll meet plenty of other NGO workers and VSO volunteers. The staple Ethiopian food is injera, which is a large circular pancake made from a small grain called teff. Cooked stews and vegetables (collectively known as wat) are placed on the injera, and the whole is eaten communally by hand. The country is really beautiful, so even just traveling around it without any particular plan will give you a lot of pleasure. The mountains in the north are spectacular, whilst the lakes in the Rift Valley provide a welcome relief in what is (apart from the lush south-west) a predominantly arid country. The country’s National Parks provide an excellent opportunity to see the many endemic birds and animals and to walk in spectacular scenery.
We’ll ask you to commit to 12 months to ensure you can make a sustainable contribution to our development goals. In return, we’ll give you comprehensive financial, personal and professional support. We'll provide you with extensive training before your placement, and our financial package includes a local salary, return flights, accommodation, insurance and more. When you return to your home country, we'll help you to resettle and many of our returned volunteers stay involved with us long after their placement ends.
