Job Posting



About NyayaNyaya Health operates a hospital and mobile medical care services in Achham, a large district in Nepal. Achham is one of the poorest regions in South Asia, and shoulders some of the world’s highest mortality rates, particularly among women. Following a decade-long civil conflict, the health infrastructure of the region has been ravaged. Nyaya provides essential primary care to the region, as requested and directed by community members. We work in partnership with local government officials as part of an initiative to rebuild the public sector health system. We construct healthcare infrastructure, train local health workers, and provide direct medical services. Our organization employs an all-Nepali staff with supervision and training from volunteer public health experts. We maintain an “open source” approach involving complete transparency in our expenditures, operations protocols, and clinical outcomes, which are detailed on this website.

About the position: The Country Director (CD) plays a critical role in the administration of the organization through the oversight of Nyaya’s work in Nepal. The CD will work full-time in Achham and coordinate closely with Nyaya team members in Kathmandu and outside of Nepal, helping to manage and respond to daily operational needs of the organization. This position will include elements of team management, strategic planning, program management and research coordination, as well as support for critical development, networking and fundraising activities. The role requires a commitment to social justice work and an excitement to work in a dynamic and challenging personal and professional environment.
