RFSL Jämtland Härjedalen seeks engaged coordinator in sexual health

Description:

Since April 2023, RFSL Jämtland Härjedalen has been running the Testpoint JH project to reduce stigma around HIV and STI in the region. We are now seeking a substitute coordinator to cover our coordinator's leave. In this role, you will work with testing our target groups for HIV and STI, offer counseling and support conversations, and give educational presentations throughout the region. RFSL Jämtland Härjedalen is an organization for gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people in Jämtland and Härjedalen. The organization's work includes social activities, educational outreach in schools, sexual health activities, and political advocacy. RFSL is an antiracist and feminist organization. Job Responsibilities As part of the project, we run a testing clinic primarily serving transgender people and men who have sex with men. We offer anonymous and free HIV and STI testing with rapid results. The clinic is a safe, low-threshold service, independent from regular healthcare. As coordinator, you work receiving visitors at our office in Östersund as well as throughout the region to assist with self-testing. Everyone who takes an HIV test should be offered a counseling conversation with information. The conversation also needs to be motivating and provide space for reflection. You will also work recruiting volunteers who can perform HIV testing and train them in the organization's procedures. The work will also involve spreading information about HIV and STI to destigmatize these topics in Jämtland and Härjedalen, as well as informing about LGBTQI+ more broadly. This can happen through presentations and information sharing at schools, for other organizations, and at events. A central part of our work is building networks and collaborating with both existing and new organizations. This also includes providing training to other organizations' staff and volunteers on these topics. It is important that you can take a comprehensive approach to the project's goals and can plan, implement, and evaluate ongoing work, and that you can work efficiently and create good collaboration with your project colleague and others within the organization. You are responsible for documenting your work and, at the end of the employment, reporting your part in the project together with your colleague and the employer. The position is a 75% temporary position through February and is located at our office in central Östersund where you will work closely with your colleague who works as a communicator in the project.
