THE ROLE
There is a significant body of research detailing the multiple disadvantages experienced by the Traveller community. Also, through the current work carried out by the STDC through our Primary Health Care for Travellers Project (PHCTP) and SICAP Programmes, it has been recognised that there is a significant gap in positive engagement with male travellers.
In partnership with the HSE, STDC is currently building on and developing the supports that we offer to the Traveller Community in South Tipperary. We are now recruiting for a Community Health and Substance Misuse Worker to:
- engage directly with Traveller men and service providers to highlight and address the specific health needs and issues within the community on Men’s health.
- work with individuals, families and the wider Traveller community who are either directly or indirectly affected by substance misuse.
The creation of this post will greatly enhance the responses that STDC through our PHCTP can provide to support this community and to engage and support male travellers.
Applications must be submitted on the form below. Closing date for receipt of applications is 5pm on Tuesday 28th May.
Interviews will be held on Wednesday 5th June 2024 in STDC Offices, Cahir, Co. Tipperary.
