On 13th May 2024 National Traveller MABS launched our information guide for Traveller Primary Healthcare Workers. We were delighted to be joined by so many Traveller Primary Healthcare workers at the launch.
This guide was developed in response to the information needs of Traveller Community Health Workers working in Primary Healthcare for Traveller Projects.
The purpose of this guide is to support the decision making of Travellers when they are deciding on returning to work, taking on additional hours of work or considering the implications of increased rates of pay in existing roles within Traveller Primary Healthcare Projects. It looks to provide information and signpost Travellers to both MABS and Citizens Information services.
The guide will be of benefit to anyone thinking about entering employment and want to know how their current benefits would be affected and what supports are available to them.
The guide was developed by a working group made up of National Traveller MABS and representatives from the National Traveller Health Network and Traveller Organisations. National Traveller MABS would like to thank everyone for giving their time in the development of this guide.
The information in this guide is correct at time of going to print but we would encourage you to contact your local Citizens Information Office to get the most accurate information for your own situation.
