We’re proud of our diverse, multidisciplinary team, and the professional development opportunities afforded to each member – from on-the-ground fieldwork to global conferences. At Jacaranda Health, you’ll have the opportunity to do work that matters, alongside colleagues who share your passion. We’re looking for collaborative leaders and problem-solvers, with a vested interest in changing outcomes for women and babies in low-resource settings. Hear from our colleagues in Kenya and Ghana.
The work environment at Jacaranda fosters a sense of belonging. All staff are treated equally and respectfully, and there is a real feeling of mutual support. This feeling has been further enhanced through the McKinsey Ability to Execute year-long leadership course that everyone at Jacaranda took part in. It really strengthened our skills and cohesion as a team.
The impact-driven ethos of Jacaranda constantly fuels my inspiration. Within our community, the culture of inclusivity and openness to different ideas creates an environment where continuous learning thrives, backed by leadership courses and professional support. It’s been amazing to engage projects in different geographies, and I’ve come to realize that every day holds the promise of enriching experiences.
