The Health Service Commission is a constitutional body established in 1998 to address human-resource matters in Uganda’s health service. Its mandate includes appointment, confirmation, promotion and review of health workers’ terms and conditions, training and qualifications.

The Commission recruits for central-government health institutions, including the Ministry of Health, national and regional referral hospitals, and specialist institutions. It also provides guidance and support to District Service Commissions and local governments on health workforce management.

The Hospital Administrator supports the administrative systems that keep each assigned hospital functioning. Work includes planning and budgeting for logistics, maintaining supplies, supervising staff and overseeing the use of infrastructure, facilities and equipment. The post also supports security arrangements for hospital personnel and assets, manages security for staff, equipment and infrastructure, and compiles and submits reports. The advert assigns the post to one of three named hospitals: Hoima Regional Referral Hospital, Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital or Kiruddu Regional Referral Hospital.

The role is graded U4 and reports to a Senior Hospital Administrator. Applicants need a bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, Arts, SWASA, Public Administration, Business Administration (Management option) or Management Science from a recognised university or institution. The employer lists good communication, interpersonal and team-building skills; it does not set a minimum years-of-experience requirement. One post is at each of the three named hospitals, with Hoima in Hoima District and the other two in Kampala.
