CATIE is committed to employment equity and encourages applications from Black, Indigenous and racialized people, people of all gender identities and sexual orientations, and people with disabilities. CATIE also recognizes the need for experience, knowledge and guidance from communities disproportionately affected by HIV and hepatitis C, including people living with HIV or with current or lived experience of hepatitis C or substance use.

HIV and hepatitis C disproportionately affect many racialized communities, yet these communities are underrepresented in paid staff positions of many HIV and hepatitis C organizations, including CATIE. We are working to change this by prioritizing anti-racism in our work and our operations, and striving to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for racialized people to work and thrive.
