- CCCRN is committed to supporting integrated, quality and continuous health services.
- CCCRN operates a cluster-based structure in which the health facilities it works with in Niger State are grouped into three geographic clusters: Minna, Bida and Suleja. Each cluster brings together facilities located in and around its hub town, so that they can be coordinated, supported and monitored together.
- Two ad hoc Integrated Health Optimizers will serve each cluster, reporting to and working with the regular project Integrated Health Optimizer/Associate where designated, or the named cluster technical supervisor.
- They will support high-volume facilities and PHCs through scheduled portfolios.
- Facility/service centre leadership provides day-to-day direction; project cluster personnel provide line supervision and verify deliverables. Assignments reflect workload, government capacity, approved scope and demonstrated competencies. Integrated delivery includes coordinated client flows, eligible service linkage, referral completion, approved records and mentorship of named government counterparts.
- Clinical support nursing proposal for leadership review: Preserve the three existing ESM Nurse functions as Integrated Clinical Support Nurse assignments where verified facility gaps justify deployment. Confirm qualifications, current licensing, competencies and funding. Nurses will provide authorized clinical triage, nursing care, treatment-continuity assessment, maternal/child linkage and escalation under the facility clinical lead, with protected clinical time and coordination with cluster Optimizers. Review as government capacity improves.
- These posts are outside the 227 advertised vacancies; retaining all three as additional posts brings the establishment to 230. Count combined assignments only once.
