SWAI has an exciting new opportunity for a highly motivated,
experienced person to join our team. The role of Coordinator is to
promote the health, safety, participation and dignity of all female,
male, cis and trans sex workers in Ireland.
SWAI is Ireland?s only sex-worker led frontline organisation which
works from a harm reduction, non-judgmental and human rights
perspective. We advocate for the right to health, safety,
participation, dignity and self-determination of all people working in
the sex industry in Ireland. In line with evidence-based policy, we
want to see the sex purchase ban repealed, a repeal of brothel-keeping
law in Ireland and full decriminalisation of sex work.
The Coordinator reports to the SWAI Board of Directors. SWAI
encourages applicants from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
We are looking for someone who believes that organising and working
collectively can bring about change. This is an ideal role for someone
who feels strongly about tackling injustice and growing power within
the sex work community. Do you believe in a model that puts people
impacted front and centre of its work? Can you lead projects and
support others to lead through training and mentoring teams and
communities? Do you have experience of organising, leading and
coordinating campaigns? Are you up for rolling up your sleeves and
getting stuck in? If so, this may be the job for you!
THE ROLE
* Provide support, supervision and mentoring to staff members in the
area of community work/organising and campaigns.
* Oversee the development of a strategic plan for SWAI

affecting sex workers
* Oversee the development of a campaign to counter the
criminalisation of sex workers
* Engage a range of civil society stakeholders to support human
rights of sex workers and alternatives to the Nordic model
* Represent SWAI at events, external meetings, on external
structures and bodies and in the media
* Network at EU and International level with a range of stakeholders
to build relationships and promote sex workers rights
* Develop relationships with politicians, civil servants and
relevant stakeholders as part of campaigning and advocacy work
* Prepare reports for internal and external purposes and coordinate
relevant research and policy positions
* Increase the capacity of SWAI to advocate for the rights of sex
workers in Ireland
* Report in a transparent and thorough manner to the Board of
Directors on all matters relating to the finances and management of
SWAI
* Develop, implement and review internal policies and governance
procedures
* Ensure the organisation operates in compliance with all relevant
statutory regulations
These duties are a guide to the general range of responsibilities and
are neither definitive nor restrictive. The Coordinator may from time
to time have to undertake other duties in keeping with the overall
function of the post.
ESSENTIAL
* Clear ability to manage, support, and lead a team of staff and
volunteers in a collaborative and inclusive manner
* Ability to think strategically and to plan, direct and run
campaigns
* Clear ability to work in a diverse, multilingual and intercultural
context and across a range of stakeholders
* A self-starter, who demonstrates initiative and has the ability to
be creative, flexible and innovative
* Excellent communication skills; capacity to develop good
interpersonal skills and work collaboratively
* Strong commitment to tackling injustice and advancing sex worker
rights
* Clear about own values - anti-racism, equality, social justice -
and a commitment to the power of people working together to challenge
injustice
* Experience of digital technology
* Understanding and critical analysis of sex work in Ireland

clarity and accountability on priorities and goals
