Peer Educator_Transgender X6

TB HIV Care (THC), in existence since 1929, is an internationally recognised non‑profit organisation. We provide health care services throughout South Africa to both the general population and communities at increased risk for HIV and TB, including adolescent girls and young women, sex workers and people who use drugs. THC provides a stimulating work environment and the opportunity to work with leaders in the field of HIV and TB prevention and care.

Our work culture is adapted to the constantly evolving South African health care environment and will suit solution‑driven team players interested in opportunities for career development while working to connect people with care.

The peer educator is responsible for conducting outreach activities to reach the TG community by providing accurate health information, mobilising TG people to the mobile unit and facilitating linkage to care.
