The Sexual Health Centre, in partnership with Cork Local Drug & Alcohol Task Force and the Southern Regional Drug and Alcohol Taskforce, is seeking an exceptional, positive individual to join the team to support the delivery of our mobile Drugs, Alcohol, Sexual Health (DASH) project.

The purpose of this role is to further develop the DASH project which focusses on delivering health promotion and harm reduction supports to people as they socialise in the evenings.  In this role, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the overall strategy of the Sexual Health Centre.

The successful candidate will work with the DASH team to deliver sexual health and harm reduction supports and interventions through our mobile health unit across the Cork and Kerry region.
