This will include outreach to health workers and health students to facilitate their participation in meetings, events, and workshops; and support the implementation of political education across the network and via communication channels such as social media platforms.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of social determinants of health and health equity policy and will be interested in organizing with new people, including young health workers and students, to get them involved in the decent work movement.
