Job Description:

Rare Cancers Australia is seeking an Education and Engagement Officer to extend the impact of its Cancer Nursing and Navigation Program. This program supports individuals diagnosed with rare cancers primarily via phone and telehealth, helping patients access treatment, navigate health systems, manage travel and accommodation, and feel less isolated.

About the Role:

This role requires a dynamic and empathetic individual with an understanding of the health sector, patient support, and the unique challenges faced by people affected by rare and less common cancers. The ideal candidate will be skilled in developing effective education strategies and resources and confident in delivering engaging sessions to diverse audiences.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement education and engagement strategies to promote awareness and understanding of rare cancers.
  • Identify key messages and communication channels to reach and engage diverse audiences effectively.
  • Tailor health promotion strategies to meet the needs of priority populations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, rural and remote communities, and culturally and linguistically diverse groups.
  • Deliver and facilitate engaging education and training sessions for patients, carers, health professionals, organisations, and community groups.
  • Build and maintain relationships with community organisations, patient advocacy groups, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders.
  • Actively engage with and consult patients, families, and community groups to understand their needs and develop targeted initiatives.
  • Organise community events, workshops, and educational sessions to raise awareness and promote education on rare cancers.
  • Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of education and engagement initiatives to ensure they are meeting their intended outcomes.

About Us:

We are a leading advocacy and support organisation dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by rare cancers. Our mission is to provide support, raise awareness, and drive research initiatives to address the unique challenges individuals diagnosed with rare cancers and their families face.

About You:

To succeed in this role, you will require strong communication skills, both verbal and written, and the ability to tailor messages for different cultural contexts and accessibility needs. Experience working with priority populations and a collaborative approach will be highly regarded.

Benefits:

This is an opportunity to contribute to improving outcomes for those facing rare cancer diagnoses. Join a dedicated team working towards a meaningful cause, raising awareness, advocating for change, and providing support to individuals and families affected by rare cancers.
