This job vacancy advertised by the Wairarapa District Health Board caught my eye the other day –
“An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Drinking Water Professional to work in a permanent full-time capacity as a TAP Facilitator….” The advert continued, “…the TAP Facilitator will work within the Health Protection team to improve the quality of drinking water for communities in the above areas.”
Strange. I would’ve thought the focus for a TAP Facilitator with regard to drinking water would’ve been on quantity rather than quality. The more taps, the more flow, if you get my drift.
Ooops. My mistook. On re-reading it turns out that –
A TAP Facilitator is a Technical Assistance Programme Facilitator.
Nothing to do with stop-valves, washers, faucets, tanks and other plumbery.
But if you meet the requirement to – “hold the National Diploma in Drinking Water” and don’t gurgle too much or have to cross your legs during interviews ”“ it might be worth applying.
I wonder where they study for that diploma ”“ probably not at university where, in my day, diplomas in drinking involved the consumption of more colourful liquids, leaving the water for fish to frolic in.
