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.
