Position Purpose

Dartmouth Cancer Center ( DCC ) at Dartmouth Health in Lebanon NH is seeking a highly motivated individual to serve as a Program Specialist in our Office of Community Outreach and Engagement ( COE ).
The role of the Program Specialist is to coordinate and perform administrative and programmatic support functions for the Cancer Center’s community outreach, education, research, and engagement programmatic initiatives to have a positive impact on the populations we serve.
The Program Specialist will work collaboratively with internal (e.g., clinicians, researchers, information technology staff, marketing and communications teams, clinical operations staff, system partners) and external (e.g., public health agencies, community-based organizations, coalitions, National Cancer Institute) stakeholders to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate the program’s activities.
The Program Specialist will support a variety of community-focused research, outreach, and engagement projects, including:
  • Community Engagement Studios, which are one-time advisory meetings with a group of community members who represent a researcher’s population of research interest; through studios, we are able to solicit feedback from community members to improve a given research project and make it more patient- and community- centered.
  • Clinical Trials Outreach and Education, working with the COE team and other internal and external key stakeholders support efforts to develop outreach strategies to educate and engage the catchment areas of NH and VT in clinical trials.
  • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, working with Cancer Center administration and other stakeholders, identify diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging issues regarding the delivery of care by the Cancer Center and its affiliates to patients and care givers and work collaboratively to develop strategies to address these issues.
  • Other infrastructure projects to help ensure that the Dartmouth Cancer Center’s research is reflective of and responsive to our community’s cancer burden and health needs. This may include supporting community advisory boards and efforts to include community advisors on research projects, participating in community coalitions focused on cancer, and coordinating community events and evidence-based interventions.
Description

Our successful candidate will have strong organizational skills, computer proficiency, and excellent communication (oral and written) and interpersonal skills. The ability to coordinate multiple activities simultaneously is key, given the various projects our Program Specialist will be supporting.
