If you have a desire to be part of a passionate, committed, people-oriented team who is committed to ending poverty... then you’re in the right place!

Baptist World Aid Australia is an international Christian development organisation working in 18 countries. We partner with like-minded organisations overseas to implement community development and disaster projects that empower communities to lift themselves out of poverty. Last year, our work directly benefited 332,391 people.

When you join Baptist World Aid, you’ll become part of a rich, 60-year history. As a valued Copy & Feature Writer, you’ll be integral to achieving our mission of helping Australians tackle the injustice of global poverty. The Marketing and Communications Team is a high achieving team, that works collaboratively across the organisation and is key to ensuring our faithful Australian supporters are connected with the work and beneficiaries of our projects around the world.

We’re looking for someone with the know-how, passion, and commitment to inspire our faithful supporters to action on poverty… is it you?
