Achieve Something Great

This is an exciting opportunity to join Youth Health Service, working alongside a multidisciplinary team to improve the health and wellbeing of young people aged 12–24 years across South Western Sydney. As a Health Education Officer, you will work directly with young people, particularly those who experience disadvantage, marginalisation or barriers to accessing health care. You will develop and deliver engaging health promotion and education initiatives, facilitate groups, provide individual support and case management, and connect young people with the services and supports they need. The role combines health promotion, youth engagement, community development and advocacy, providing an opportunity to turn ideas into practical initiatives that respond to the needs of young people. You will work with young people and community partners to develop resources, campaigns, education activities and projects that build health knowledge, confidence and access to care.



Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people—helping them navigate health services, build their health and wellbeing, and have their voices and needs recognised in the design and delivery of services.
