A day in the life of a Media Officer and Event Manager:

In this varied role, you will be responsible for promoting projects and initiatives and coordinating proactive media opportunities for Yipirinya School - the only school of its type in Australia. To do this, you’ll research and create engaging content for media, publications, and online channels. While predominately working on proactive opportunities, you will bring experience in responding to reactive media enquiries.

Your strong storytelling will enable you to produce creative and quality content valued by stakeholders and peers. This is a fast-paced setting, and the occasional change of focus and juggling of competing demands will be required. This role requires working on a scheduled rotating on-call roster, where you will respond to out-of-hours media enquiries, across a seven-day period including evening, overnight and weekends.

If you have had experience as a:

Communications Officer
Event Manager
Corporate Communications Writer
Journalist
Producer of Media Materials & Publications

Then this may just be the role for you!

We are in search of an experienced communication specialist with strong writing and editing skills to deliver media strategies and plans, coordinate media and PR activities and respond to media enquiries, working across Council. We have permanent full-time opportunities available within our media and marketing team.
