Introduction

 

Drug-resistant infections pose a grave threat to health and wellbeing across the globe. Bacterial causes of infection are becoming resistant to an increasing number of antibiotics, with consequent reductions in the effectiveness of treatment. The UK Government is playing a leading global role in addressing this problem and has launched the Fleming Fund as a major component of the UK's response.

 

The aim of the Fleming Fund is to address critical gaps in surveillance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Countries in these areas are set to bear the highest burden of antibiotic-resistant infections.

 

 

About Mott MacDonald

 

Mott MacDonald has been appointed by the UK Department of Health and Social Care as the Management Agent for the Fleming Fund Grants Programme (more detail can be found at www.flemingfund.org). Following an extensive design phase, the Fleming Fund is now implementing the programme. We are operating with a head office in London, UK and four Regional Hubs in Ghana, Uganda, India, and Thailand. Mott MacDonald is seeking to recruit a qualified individual to support the roll-out of the programme. Applicants will join a multidisciplinary team of technical and grant programme management experts.

Key Responsibilities

 

The programme is a 5-year, large scale (£235 million), complex fund management programme which aims to operate in 24 LMIC countries.  Reporting to the UK Programme Director, and working closely with the UK Global Technical Lead, the Regional Coordinator leads the Fleming Fund’s activities in South East Asia, supporting the end-to-end process of grant management. The role helps to ensure the highest quality professional standards in the conduct of the Fleming Fund.

The role manages the Regional Hub, including a team of technical experts and support staff. In addition, high-level liaison with AMR Coordination Committee members and governments throughout the region, and partners, including the UK Department of Health and Social Care, FAO, OIE and WHO, is a key part of the role. This requires a high degree of diplomacy and a good working knowledge of the global architecture of AMR.
