Role Title: High School Meningococcal Awareness Project Intern 1
Organisation: Meningitis Centre Australia
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Nedlands
Your role will be a 50/50 split. You will contact and send parent resources to every high school in WA to reach parents of all year 9 students, raising awareness of Meningococcal, its signs and symptoms, the need to act fast as its a medical emergency, and vaccination. It's essential you have excellent written and verbal communication skills and feel confident talking and speaking clearly on the phone to schools, while working at a fast pace.
The second part of your role will be helping MCA to put together the foundations of producing a quality plan to directly reach both high school students and uni students. You will need to think out-side of the box and be innovative, what makes this age group tick, what will draw their attention to this devastating disease and make them act?
You will be part of our team, and like in any NFP, there will be times where you throw in to help all!!
Raising Awareness, Every Second Counts
Our aim is to defeat Meningitis, Meningococcal, Pneumococcal and other related diseases through awareness, education, and advocacy and support.
