    Senior Project Coordinator – shEqual (gender equality in ads project)

    About the organisation

    Women’s Health Victoria is a statewide women’s policy, health promotion, advocacy and support service with a proud history of 30 years. We are an independent, feminist, not-for-profit organisation. We advocate and build system capacity for a gendered approach to health that reduces inequalities and improves health outcomes for women.

Our work covers five priority areas: Sexual and Reproductive Health, Prevention of Violence Against Women, Mental Health and Body Image, Women’s Equality and Women with Cancer.

    About the role

    We are seeking values driven, innovative and experienced professional for our Policy, Health Promotion and Capacity Building Unit to coordinate the shEqual project.

    ShEqual is the first coordinated effort in Australia to address sexism in the advertising setting.  Sexist advertising contributes to a culture of violence against women, but more realistic and respectful portrayals of women and girls in advertising can help bring that culture to an end. It’s our mission to raise industry and public awareness, reinforce positive behaviours, and empower people to take action in shaping how women are represented in the stories we tell and consume.

    The role will focus on the coordination, development and implementation of shEqual. You will be working closely with the gender equity and capacity building team on policy development and advocacy on women’s equality and prevention of violence against women.

    Your approach

    As a passionate advocate for women’s health and gender equality, you are proactive, accountable (for self and others), people focused and inclusive. You are an effective communicator who actively shares ideas, information and resources to achieve positive outcomes.

    As the Senior Project Coordinator shEqual, you will operate within a supportive and structured environment and will need to have:

    • Expertise in gender equality and prevention of violence against women
    • Highly developed organisational and project management skills
    • Demonstrated experience in developing and maintaining purposeful relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

    Instructional Designer

    About the organisation

    Women’s Health Victoria is a statewide women’s policy, health promotion, advocacy and support service with a proud history of over 29 years. We are an independent, feminist, not-for-profit organisation. We advocate and build system capacity for a gendered approach to health that reduces inequalities and improves health outcomes for women.

    We offer the opportunity to be involved in making a difference in the lives of women and people of diverse genders in Victoria. Our work covers five priority areas: Sexual and Reproductive Health, Prevention of Violence Against Women, Mental Health and Body Image, Women’s Equality and Women with Cancer.

    About the role

    We are seeking an Instructional Designer to design a course in Contributing to Primary Prevention of Family Violence and Violence Against Women.

    This course will provide accredited training to those who work in primary prevention ‘contributor’ roles. These are workers who are located across a broad range of sectors or disciplines who may undertake some prevention work as part of their role but is not their primary focus.  There is a need to build understanding among professionals within universal services, such as teachers, community health workers, early learning teachers, and maternal and child health nurses, as they have such broad reach into all parts of the community. However, prevention contributors could also include alcohol and other drug (AOD) workers, sports administrators, local government staff and human resources staff. Prevention contributors can support, complement and enhance the work of the specialist prevention workforce.

    This course is not designed as training for specialist primary prevention practitioners.

    Your approach

    You will have experience as an Instructional Designer in designing courses from a feminist perspective using adult learning principles. You will also be able to:

    • Work to strict deadlines and work to be completed by 2nd November 2023

    • Work in a collaborative team environment

    • Be self-directed
