Communications Advisor

**2 year (full-time) fixed term contract**:

- **Use your comms expertise to bring stories and projects to life**

**About the role**:
Reporting to the Project Communications Manager, you will use your high-level writing skills within a team who are creative, encouraging, fun, and love their jobs.

While you’ll work within an amazing Media & Communications team, your robust stakeholder management skills will also see you working with teams right across NSW, ACT and WA, providing your communication expertise.

Ultimately, you’re a writer who puts the audience at the heart of what you produce. Writing comes naturally to you, and you’ll easily pick up our organisational tone.

With an eye for detail, you also know how to influence up, down and across as you work with stakeholders to create effective communications plans, and detailed but succinct comms. Your people first approach to strategic communication projects will be a great asset.

Projects will include a special focus on updates for our property developments, as well as supporting our internal change management and integration projects.

With agile writing skills, you’ll also be able to cross over to developing heart-warming and engaging stories and short videos as you help our audiences to understand, learn about and connect with our residential aged care, retirement living, home care and community services and housing services. This will include a range of publications and channels, from our intranet to website.

You’re active on social media and can grab opportunities and convert them to social content, while monitoring our channels to ensure the safety of our online community.

You love to be busy, navigate your deadlines, and have a laugh with a great team of media and comms professionals. Or in “recruitment speak”: This role will suit a highly organised communications professional with strong interpersonal/relationship-building skills seeking an opportunity to join a leading not-for-profit.
