Remote / Work from Home
If you’re passionate about health promotion and empowering older Australians to age well, then we want to talk to you!
We’re looking for health professionals with experience in community aged care and primary health care to help us with important work in our community engagement.
Independent Living Assessment (ILA) was established in January 2020 by Indigo Australasia Incorporated (formerly ILC). ILA focus on supporting people through assessment, navigation, and sector capacity building initiatives. Our purpose is to enhance health and wellbeing by connecting the community with trusted knowledge and expertise.
LiveUp is an exciting, new national project run by Independent Living Assessment (ILA - a NFP in WA) and funded by the Department of Health to provide Australians aged 50+ with information, resources and advice around their own health and wellbeing, assistive technology and community connections. The user-friendly self-assessment tool is a first in Australia!
We are about to launch a website and app with a self-assessment tool, which is a first in Australia! LiveUp will be promoted nationally via a range of online and offline media. But we know that older Australians will be more receptive to resources that their GP, health professional or service provider recommends. This is where you come in!
A team of community engagement professionals across different states and territories will work collaboratively with the National Community Engagement Lead and the LiveUp Project Team to drive awareness, uptake and ongoing use of the web and app through grass roots community engagement activities across Australia.
The role will involve developing and managing professional relationships with stakeholders and community partners, coordinating participation in community events and activities, and gathering local content to support development of the LiveUp website service directory.
To maximise our reach, we see this role as largely working remotely (from your home), via Teams primarily. However, community engagement will also involve:
Importantly, you must have the ability to work remotely (from home), work well in a team, be self-motivated, accountable, and be willing to travel when required.
If you wish to discuss the position specifics, please contact Sarah Easton on [email protected] using the subject line: Community Engagement Professionals enquiry via EthicalJobs, or call 08 6202 4700.
We reserve the right to commence interviewing before the closing date .
We value our people at ILA and strive to have a positive and adaptive culture, one that aligns with our values; so cultural fit is just as important to us as qualifications, technical skill and experience. Values: Passion, Integrity, Embracing and Authentic.
We promote and support diversity and inclusion in our workplace and encourage all diversity groups to apply. If you require any additional support during the recruitment/interview phase, please contact [email protected].
