This is an exciting new opportunity for someone who has experience in health promotion, primary health or public health to join the BreastScreen Coast to Coast team.

This screening programme is for eligible women aged 45 to 69 with no breast symptoms. BSCC covers the central region of the North Island comprising Taranaki, Whanganui, MidCentral, Hawke's Bay, and Tairawhiti Districts.

The Role of the Community Engagement Officer is to support the increased participation and reduction of inequities in coverage for priority women, who are Māori, Pasifika, never screened and under screened women within the BSCC region. To do this they will need to build and maintain effective relationships with Support to Screening Providers (SSSP's) within the BSCC region, and with the community groups, regional Iwi and Māori health providers. They will be the liaison between BSCC, SSSP's and regional Iwi health providers, and will support the provision of a high-quality breast screening service that meets the needs of eligible priority women maximising enrolment and retention of these women within the BSA programme.

The role is full time and permanent. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team at BSCC and will be supported by Te Uru Mātai Matengau (Cancer, Screening, Treatment and Support Cluster).
The role will be based at BSCC. You will need to be able to travel and stay away overnight when visiting and supporting the regional teams.
