Role Title: Wrap the Gap Research and Marketing Support Intern
Organisation: Earbus Foundation of Western Australia
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Brewer Street, Perth
The purpose of this internship is to support the delivery of Earbus Foundation’s Wrap the Gap services by strengthening the link between research, practice and community engagement.
The intern will contribute to improving outcomes for children with otitis media and conductive hearing loss by reviewing current evidence for allied health interventions and translating this knowledge into practical resources.
This will be achieved by researching global best-practice in allied health, developing therapy materials, promotional handouts and professional presentations and by improving internal information management.
The internship will help Earbus Foundation to build service capacity, enhance communication with schools and support the Foundation’s delivery of high-quality, coordinated allied health services across Western Australia.
