Metzineres is a non-profit cooperative based in the Raval neighborhood (Barcelona), creating safe environments for women and gender-diverse people who use drugs and survive multiple situations of vulnerability and violence.
We are looking for a nurse with knowledge in intersectional feminism and harm reduction. We encourage women with lived experiences as migrants, lesbians, bisexual and trans women, gender-diverse people, racialized women, indigenous and Afro-descendant women, or women with functional diversity, to apply for this job offer.
Your Day to Day
At Metzineres, we incorporate a holistic vision of health along with a full-spectrum harm reduction perspective. Moreover, we believe that health is built in community. Therefore, beyond basic nursing functions such as consumption accompaniment, wound care, medication administration, etc., there is participation in coordination with other services and participation in meetings and training sessions with various advocacy spaces.
The functioning of Metzineres seeks involvement and horizontality. Participation in decision-making is real, and each professional actively participates from different responsibilities and from their field of action. For this reason, there is time dedicated to meetings and gatherings to reflect together and make collective decisions, articulated in different decision-making spaces.
