Role
To be successful in this role, you will be a motivated, flexible individual who is passionate about working with young people around their sexual health.
The postholder will conduct outreach, education, and training in several settings depending on the needs of different young people. These could be educational settings, youth settings, community events, sports settings, clubs and pubs. You will target vulnerable young people, such as looked-after children (LAC), those who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), those who come from areas of high deprivation and high need, and those with other increased risk factors, as well as young people aged 13-15 who are not yet able to access online services.
As part of your frontline work, you will encourage young people to sign up for a C-card, and, if aged over 16, to register to Get it and order condoms and lube from the website. When appropriate, you will refer young people to appropriate local sexual health services for contraception, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, STI screening and treatment.
Programme
METRO works closely with our partner Spectra to deliver sexual health services in the London boroughs of Wandsworth, Richmond, Merton and Kingston. In these boroughs, METRO delivers the Come Correct free condom scheme (C-card), the National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP), and Get It, an online scheme which offers condoms, lube, and testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
METRO also delivers training and education, aimed at both young people and professionals working with young people. Community outreach and engagement is another important facet of METRO’s work, as it allows workers to reach young people directly - particularly those who are most vulnerable to sexual ill health.
Our South West London services are supported by a sexual health office, and are linked to a team of sexual health workers who deliver similar sexual health services in different boroughs and counties.
Application deadline:
