Casual Worker – Community Testing Peer Worker
ABOUT THE ROLE
Hepatitis NSW are expanding our peer-implemented hepatitis C testing EMPOWER project by recruiting more people with lived experience of hep C to become community testing peer workers.
Extensive, paid training will be provided so no previous experience is required. You will work closely with the Program Coordinator, fellow peer workers, other Hepatitis NSW staff, and healthcare partners to deliver this community testing program.

• Lived experience of hepatitis C and treatment, either Direct Acting Antiviral pills or Interferon injections.
• Effective written and oral communication skills.
