Men's Health Forum in Ireland: Programme and Development Coordinator for Men's Health
The Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) is seeking suitably qualified and experienced people to apply for the post of
Programme and Development Coordinator for Men's Health
THE ROLE
The MHFI Director of Operations will soon be taking an in-house sabbatical to focus upon completing a number of long-standing infrastructural improvements to the Forum. To fill the gap that this will create, an experienced, focused, innovative and dedicated individual (with a strong record of multi-tasking) is being sought to fill the temporary senior position of Programme and Development Coordinator for Men's Health - to oversee some of the core functions / roles that the Director would have had responsibility for. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who would like to take a career break from their current role or to progress in their career development.
TERMS AND REQUIREMENTS
Job Title: Programme and Development Coordinator for Men's Health.
Employer: Men’s Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI).
Term of Contract: One year, but with the possibility of extension if further funding can be secured during this period.
Start Date: Monday 17th November 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter).
Salary: €40,050
Hours: Full-time | 37 working hours per week | mostly Monday to Friday. This post will, however, require the holder to be flexible to meet emerging demands, and to be available to work evenings and weekends when required.
Annual Leave: 25 days, plus Republic of Ireland Public Holidays.
Work Base: This is a home-based, remote working position. The successful candidate will be responsible for supplying their own office base, equipment, materials and communication devices. A fixed monthly allowance will be paid towards phone expenses. Business travel expenses can also be claimed.
Geographic Area: MHFI works on an all-Ireland basis and is also part of international men’s health networks. Travel is, therefore, a key element of this role. The employee will be required to travel to any part of the island (or, possibly, further afield occasionally), and to have access to the physical means to do so in a timely and cost efficient manner. While, online video-conferencing can reduce some of the travelling required for this position, in-person meetings will be a regular and crucial element of it.
Travel: As this is an all-island role, the distances to travel can be quite substantive and destinations do not always lie on public transport routes. Furthermore, bulky resource materials sometimes need to be transported, meetings can be called at short notice, and these meetings may take place early in the morning or during the evening. Thus, the successful candidate will need to have access to a car (covered by ‘Business Use’ insurance) and a valid driving licence to meet these demands.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The main duties and responsibilities of this role will include, but are not limited to:
- Sustaining, maintaining and developing MHFI’s existing core areas of work.
- Providing executive and administrative support to the MHFI Board of Trustees and Advisory Group, as well as to the Healthy Ireland - Men Implementation Group.
- Preparing and submitting necessary funding applications and reports.
- Maintaining and securely holding accurate records of the Company and its business.
- Raising awareness of men’s health needs / developments in this field with statutory, voluntary, community and academic bodies, as well as the general public.
- Acting as a first point of contact for MHFI, its public face, and its representative in external settings.
- Responding appropriately, effectively and in a timely manner to emerging needs.
- Exploring options for funding to retain this position and/or develop new areas of work after the fixed term contract has ended.
