01
Role mandate
Co-design practical hand-hygiene prompts and feedback tools that fit real settings.
Why this role exists now
Posters alone rarely change behaviour. HIF wants to explore visual feedback, prompts and learning tools without assuming technology is the answer.
02
Outcomes you would own
01
A clear behaviour map and co-design record.
02
Two or three low-fidelity concepts tested with intended users.
03
An accessible prototype selected for bounded pilot evaluation.
04
Editable files, implementation notes and a handover pack.
Core responsibilities
Map behaviours, barriers and decision points with intended users.
Prototype low-cost prompts, visual-feedback and learning concepts.
Test comprehension, accessibility and practical fit.
Document rejected concepts and what was learned.
Prepare editable, partner-owned pilot materials.
03
Your first 90 days
Days 1–30
Listen, learn and locate the work
Complete HIF induction, role boundaries and required checks.
Review the Hand hygiene brief, evidence, partners and unresolved decisions.
Agree a 90-day workplan, communication rhythm and escalation map.
Days 31–60
Build the first useful thing
Build or test the first delivery-ready program component.
Invite review early from the people who will use or be affected by the work.
Record changes, risks and decisions instead of hiding uncertainty.
Days 61–90
Deliver, learn and hand over
Complete the agreed first milestone or document why it should change.
Review progress against success measures with your supervisor.
Publish a next-quarter plan and keep files ready for another volunteer.
04
What you need
Essential criteria
Behavioural science, service design, health promotion or learning-design capability.
Comfort testing rough ideas and changing direction from feedback.
Strong accessibility and cultural-humility practice.
Desirable, not required
Infection-prevention knowledge.
Experience with low-literacy or multilingual communication.
05
How good work will be judged
Success measures
Users understand the prompt and can act without additional explanation.
The concept fits the setting’s workflow and maintenance capacity.
Learning is documented even if no concept proceeds.
Decision rights & escalation
Set day-to-day priorities within the approved role brief and agreed hours.
Recommend changes to scope, timing or method and document the rationale.
Pause your own activity and escalate when safety, consent, quality or capacity is unclear.
Escalate budget commitments, external promises, partner agreements and material changes to Hand Hygiene Research Lead / Head of Design.
Clinical, safeguarding, privacy and public-claim decisions remain with the named qualified approver.
Role boundaries
This is an unpaid volunteer role. It does not create an employment relationship or expectation of future paid work.
Do not represent HIF publicly, sign agreements or commit money unless authority is explicitly documented.
Use only approved systems for personal, partner or program information.
The agreed weekly commitment is a ceiling to manage, not a minimum to exceed silently.
This role does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment or unsupervised patient contact.
No travel is assumed. Any future travel would require a separate brief, risk review and written approval.
06
Support, learning and wellbeing
Evidence brief, approved audiences and named partner reviewer.
Design critique and research supervision.
No public launch before partner, evidence and safety review.
Scope and safety
Volunteers must not work outside their competence. Clinical, safeguarding and community-facing work requires role-specific supervision and escalation pathways.
Checks before you begin
Identity and right-to-volunteer confirmation.
One or two role-relevant references for leadership or higher-trust appointments.
Confidentiality, conflict-of-interest, privacy and code-of-conduct declarations.
07
How selection works
Evidence to include
A short statement explaining why this role and HIF’s health-equity mission fit your experience.
One specific example showing how you handled work relevant to design.
Your realistic availability against the published commitment of 3–4 hours per week.
Any required qualifications, registrations, portfolio links or work samples.
Conflicts, access needs or support adjustments you want the selection panel to consider.
Selection stages
Eligibility and completeness review
Assessment against the published essential criteria
Structured interview or practical conversation, if required
Relevant reference, credential and safeguarding checks
Outcome, induction and role-specific onboarding
Final selection decisions are made by people. AI is not used to automatically reject applicants.
