Community Linker

The **Community Linker** is a new exciting role that will be supporting the prototype of a Linker program to assist community members to access services and support. This will include live testing of the model with sole parents, sole carers, and women over the age of 50 who are experiencing financial hardship

Through trialing and testing it is anticipated that the Linker Role will, over the course of the year, play an integral role in research and program design and program testing. The **Community Linker** role will then build on all that has been learnt to get the program ready to launch and scale.
