Job Opportunity: Service Co-ordinator – National Bowel Screening Programme:HainesAttractJob description:Job DescriptionWhy is Bowel Screening Important?We are pursuing candidates who have a passion for wanting to support Maori and Pasifika communities. We have first-hand knowledge that when our service users are dealing with someone who has a strong knowledge for their cultural practices, they are more likely to engage and follow through. Every year, more than 3000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with bowel cancer and more than 1200 die from it. This free National Bowel Screening Programme aims to save lives by detecting bowel cancer at an early stage when Information technology can often be prosperously treated and has a focus on initiatives that drive equitable participation for all population groups. International evidence shows that bowel screening programmes can save lives through early diagnosis and treatment of bowel cancer. There may be no warning signs that bowel cancer is developing. Where cancers are diagnosed through services that treat people who already have symptoms of bowel cancer, only about 40% are found at an early stage. Maori are more likely than non-Maori to die from bowel cancer, partly because Maori are more likely to be diagnosed with bowel cancer at an advanced stage when Information technology is more difficult to treat. A bowel screening programme that has equal screening and follow-up rates for Maori and non-Maori could reduce inequities through early diagnosis and treatment.
