In Australia, limited awareness of dementia in people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds often results in delayed diagnosis, poorer prognosis, and a higher burden of care on families and health systems.

Moving Pictures, an innovative multi-media project, aims to change this through the production of short films co-produced with people from CALD backgrounds. We are looking for a Vietnamese/Spanish Research Assistant to assist with recruitment of carers from Vietnamese/Spanish background and service providers for in-language video interviews, the translation and transcription of interview data and support of other study related activities.

The successful applicants will have:

• Bachelor degree in a relevant field, demonstrated ability to read, write and speak English and either Spanish or Vietnamese
• Demonstrated ability to work closely, collaboratively and productively with multiple stakeholders
• Experience relevant to public health in a community context and capacity to work with community and health workers in a sensitive and respectful manner
