About Family Planning NSW

Family Planning NSW (FPNSW) is the leading provider of reproductive and sexual health services in NSW. As an independent not-for-profit organisation, we offer expert clinical care, information and advice for everybody in every family as well as education and training and evidence-based research to support doctors, nurses and other professionals.

Family Planning NSW is committed to excellence in meeting the reproductive and sexual health needs of the community. We achieve this by providing best practice, accredited clinical services, enhancing the knowledge and skills of service providers, improving the body of knowledge about reproductive and sexual health through rigorous research and evaluation, and leading international development projects to improve the reproductive and sexual health and rights of marginalised communities in the Pacific region.

About the role

The International Education Officer position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the strengthening of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in school and community settings across the Pacific. The International Education Officer role also provides expertise to other sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) projects to maintain a high standard of education delivery across the program.

The role is responsible for supporting the implementation of international projects, focussed on increasing access to quality sexual and reproductive health services in the Pacific region. This is achieved through capacity building partner organisations to provide high quality family planning services including clinical services, community education, resource development and professional education.

The position is part of the International Programme team. The position may be required to travel to Pacific countries as part of project activities which may include after hours and weekend travel (pending travel restrictions).

If travel is required: working and living in a developed country is very different from the environment you will experience working in countries in the Pacific, and candidates must be innovative, flexible, adaptable, resilient, and patient.
