About the Role

RAPID – HIV/STI Test Facilitator

The primary purpose of the HIV/STI Test Facilitator is to provide HIV/STI testing and education to people who believe they may have been at risk of acquiring HIV. This will require the delivery of time limited interventions that involve conducting appropriate test procedures, discussion of sexual health strategies and the delivery of results within the RAPID clinic (Fortitude Valley). This role also supports access to HIV self-testing across Queensland through the mail-out program, including contacting clients to discuss their results, providing health promotion, and linking to local services as appropriate. A significant requirement of this position is therefore the provision of immediate support to newly diagnosed clients and providing the necessary assistance to link the client into HIV care and treatment. Due to the one-on-one nature of client interactions, HIV/STI Test Facilitators are expected to maintain a high-level knowledge of all aspects of HIV prevention and the HIV care continuum.

Essential Requirements

• Lived experience of belonging to a minority population, which may include people who are: living with HIV, LGBTIQ+, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, migrant and overseas-born.
• Evidence of immunity against Hepatitis B according to the Queensland Health Infection Control Guidelines and National Health and Medical Research Council Australian Immunisation Handbook.
• Maintain exceptionally high standards in the protection and promotion of client confidentiality/privacy.
• Willingness to work outside normal business hours as required.
• Competency in the use of Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• The provision of a National Police Check of six months currency (or international check if lived overseas in the last 12 months) or evidence that a National Police Check has been applied for.
• A current Queensland Blue Card or equivalent interstate Working with Children Check.
