This role includes media relations, social media management, content creation, editing, and providing strategic communications advice to the Chief Executive and team members.

The mission of this role is to:

  • Ability to work independently, while collaborating effectively with the SociaLink and Volunteering Services teams.
  • Flexible, responsive and able to work autonomously whilst effectively managing deadlines.
  • Not-for-profit experience very desirable but not essential.

At SociaLink, there is no such thing as the "perfect candidate." We understand that seeing a list of responsibilities and competencies can feel a bit daunting, and it's natural to sometimes question our abilities. Just know that we include these details to give you a better sense of the role and who we are. We hope you see them as an opportunity and an invitation, rather than a strict checklist.
