Communications Manager

Do you believe that half the world should not be living in poverty? Then join a new, innovative microfinance social enterprise and help us to launch a whole new way of giving.

We are looking for a Communications Manager who will create and implement an innovative communications strategy for www.goodreturn.org.

The new role of Communications Manager needs to be someone who is passionate about the cause and is able to utilise traditional communications and PR methods and break new ground with social media to meet our strategic objectives. We are a small, hands on organisation that works closely with a supportive corporate network and our highly skilled volunteers.

Good Return is a first in Australia. Microfinance is unique. Every dollar that is lent can be multiplied to $6, and combined with small business education, that is a good return!  

Good Return is an online microfinance website that combines the latest technology with innovative marketing to connect Australians with people living in poverty who need a loan to lift themselves out of poverty. The Good Return online loan portal allows Australians to choose the borrower they want to help and fund the loan directly online. Good Return provides skills training and economic education to maximise the borrower’s success in transforming their lives. It is a new way of giving.

Good Return is an initiative of World Education Australia. World Education Australia believes that no one deserves a life of poverty and is committed to doing something positive about it. World Education Australia delivers the powerful combination of microfinance, livelihoods and literacy to enable the poor to increase their incomes and change their lives forever.

World Education Australia is an affiliate of the global World Education organisation that is 59 years old and has worked in over 60 countries.

World Education Australia is an AusAID accredited agency and a member of ACFID and signatory to their Code of Conduct.
