Employment

At RaggAhmed, we're always looking to work with good people.

Project Officer

We are currently looking to employ a project officer on a fixed term contract basis for a period of 24 months. The position is a part-time role, 30 hours/week.

Our project officer will be responsible for the day-to-day management of a state-wide smoking cessation initiative in the mental health area. The right person will bring passion and enthusiasm to the role and also contribute to other projects, all of which aim to reduce inequity.

Key tasks will include preparing and implementing project plans, liaising with stakeholders, co-ordinating working groups and delivery of training, and program monitoring and evaluation. Some knowledge of either smoking cessation or mental health would be advantageous but is not essential.

We are looking for someone with:

• a Masters of Public Health or equivalent
• a very broad knowledge of the health system
• demonstrated ability to build relationships
• previous project management experience
• proven ability to communicate clearly
• proven ability as a team player
• a good heart.

Salary is in the range of $59,950 - $65,400 (pro rata, 0.8 FTE) per annum including super, dependent on skills and experience.

To apply for the position of project officer, please email your covering letter and curriculum vitae to recruitment@raggahmed.com. Closing date: 31 March 2010.

InDesign Operator

We have a short-term 6-week contract available for an experienced Adobe InDesign operator to lay out a series of 14 detailed reports, ranging from 20 to 100 pages in length.

An overall design template will be supplied and there will be a large number of tables and graphs. This project requires a person who can deliver a high volume of work to tight deadlines and is confident in handling large-scale detailed layouts. Experience in this type of work, such as annual reports or academic research articles, is preferable.  

We'd like someone who can come and work in our Rozelle office - we'd supply a desk and computer (pc). We expect the job to run for six weeks (maybe a little longer), starting w/c 22 March. We will pay $230 a day - $6,900 for the 6 weeks.

To apply for the position of InDesign operator, please email your covering letter and curriculum vitae to recruitment@raggahmed.com. Closing date: 17 March 2010.

Projects

Sometimes, as a freelance writer or editor, you're limited in the work you can take on.  A job might seem suitable, but too big. Or you know you can do all the writing, but don't know how to handle the focus groups needed to finish it off. Or you can edit, but have never worked with designers.

We may be able to help. We have a broad range of skills, and are happy to work cooperatively with writers, editors, designers and others who have projects that match our capabilities and interests. If you'd like to talk about a project, please contact us.
