Welcome to cohealth. A not-for-profit community health organisation that strives to improve health and wellbeing for all and lead the way in reducing health inequity in partnership with people and the communities in which they live.
The role is one of two Community Engager roles within the Community Partnerships Program.
The Community Engager role is a short time one that has two main foci.
The Community Partnerships and Diversity program area comprises a range of functions linked to the development and implementation of cohealth's human rights and community engagement/consumer participation frameworks. It delivers targeted programs to build local communities; works to improve access and equity for cohealth's diverse population groups; and ensures consumers and communities are active partners in shaping and delivering services through participatory mechanisms appropriate to their needs.
This work is underpinned by a strong focus on promoting and strengthening human rights; supporting highly engaged and connected communities; embedding meaningful community input into health service decision making; and strengthening workforce and organisational capacity to deliver responsive and inclusive services to marginalised and disadvantaged people and communities
Having a great work culture really means a lot to us. And a big part of that is having values that are aligned with one another - and with cohealth! This is why we're looking for someone that reflects cohealth's values of Inquiry and Innovation, Respect, Courage, Social Equity, and Trust.
People accepting employment with cohealth are unable to access our services, some exemptions may apply. Applications from people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; equity target groups including women, people with disabilities, people who identify as LGBTIQ; and people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, are encouraged. The suitable applicant will be subject to the relevant pre-employment checks for appointment to positions (including provision of a valid Working with Children Check clearance number and criminal record history check)
We are accepting and reviewing applications immediately.
