Field Coordinator at Access Heart Foundation

At Access Heart Foundation, we are dedicated to transforming the healthcare landscape for underserved communities across Nigeria, with a primary focus on heart health. Despite cardiovascular disease being the leading cause of death globally, access to life-saving cardiac interventions remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of Nigerians, particularly in Northern Nigeria. The crisis is especially acute for children: over 80% of Nigerian children born with congenital heart defects die, compared to less than 5% in high-income countries. This disparity is not inevitable, it’s the result of geographic and economic barriers that we are systematically dismantling.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Field Coordinator

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

The Role

• AHF is looking for an experienced Field Coordinator to manage on-the-ground implementation of a survey.
• This is a field-heavy, logistics-intensive role - the person in this position will be the operational lead on the ground, ensuring enumerators are deployed, communities are engaged, field problems are resolved in real time, and data collection proceeds on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and supervise LGA-level field enumerators and supervisors
• Coordinate community mobilisation and sensitisation across LGAs, working with Local Government Health Authorities and associations
• Manage field logistics — transportation, equipment, printing, and daily reporting
• Identify and resolve field bottlenecks in real time, escalating to the Research & Data Coordinator as needed
• Conduct regular supervisory field visits to monitor enumerator performance and data quality
• Submit daily and weekly field progress reports to AHF
• Support enumerator training and the pilot review process.

Requirements
What We Are Looking For:

• At least 3 years of field coordination or field supervision experience on community-based surveys or public health programmes
• Experience managing multi-LGA field teams across Lagos State is strongly preferred
• Familiarity with digital data collection tools (SurveyCTO, ODK, or equivalent)
• Strong community engagement and communication skills
• Ability to work under pressure and resolve logistical problems quickly
• Experience working with health authorities or in a Ministry-partnered programme context is an advantage
