Are you a media and PR specialist looking for a new challenge with an empowering, caring and courageous organisation?

Interested in health, wellbeing and making peoples’ lives better?

Love the idea of working with impactful, issues-rich content and emotive storytelling as part of an ambitious, inspiring team?

**About the opportunity**

The purpose of this role is to position and elevate profile and key messaging in the media through effective PR activities.

While managing a national media profile might seem like a typical remit for you, this opportunity is a truly exciting one - think significant scope and impact - and influencing change on important community issues.

Consumer focused and evidenced based, working with individuals, government and a network of partners, this is more than a public health organisation. They’re a change agent, guiding a movement that changes the way this health condition is managed.
- Could you use your exceptional writing, PR and media skills to be part of this change?_

**More about the role**

Reporting to and supported by the Brand and Engagement Lead, this busy and exciting role will see you working in collaboration with colleagues across marketing, communications and engagement; policy and advocacy; research, information and evaluation; programs and partnerships and directly with the leadership team.

- driving PR and media activity in line with organisational strategy

**About you**

You’re a positive, versatile and proactive PR and media professional with an interest in health, environment and social issues.

Energetic and driven, you’re keen to make your mark and grow in this exciting role and organisation.

You want to do work with impact, but with your emotional intelligence and healthy dose of humility, you work in a team for a bigger purpose.

You’re naturally consultative, open to feedback and can embrace highly collaborative ways of work.

You might be working in a PR or comms agency or an in-house role, either way you live and breathe media and enjoy the role Twitter plays in PR.

You’re a strong communicator on and off the page and have the ability and appetite to distil large amounts of information into clear messaging, content and engaging stories.

- use your PR skills for purpose
- join a tenacious team and organisation
- opportunity to manage and build a national media profile
