The Union (International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease)

The Union was set up in 1920 and works around the world to end the suffering caused by tuberculosis and lung disease. Its members include governments, non-government groups, doctors, researchers, frontline health workers, survivors and community organisations, all working on the same problem from different sides. The Union creates and shares knowledge that improves how TB is prevented, found, treated and cared for, and it helps turn that evidence into public health policy that actually reaches people. Its India office supports governments, civil society and international agencies across South-East Asia on TB prevention and care and on tobacco control, with a steady focus on people who are usually left out.



This role sits within The Union's ICE Screen TB Project (Swasthya Nagaram Urban End TB Initiative), a randomised controlled trial testing which mass TB screening approach works best in Telangana's towns and cities, using ultra-portable chest X-ray machines with computer-aided detection, low-cost molecular tests and targeted screening of vulnerable groups.

Working with the project team at The Union India Office, you will plan and run screening activities at your site, guide the staff and volunteers taking part, keep the data honest and on time, and sort out the daily problems that come up in the field so that people who may have TB are found and started on treatment quickly.

Responsibilities
