At Koala Clancy Foundation, we believe in the importance of communications to deliver environmental solutions. Our weekly tree planting days book out (and 95% of participants actually attend), our fundraising hits targets early, and our work is covered in high profile media outlets. Our membership is engaged and reliable. As a result, we can commit to big projects and achieve them. This is all down to exceptional communications.

We need a new Communications Assistant to work closely with the President & CEO. The work will have lots of supervision and direction initially, but will grow into a fairly independent role over time. There is a possibility of increased work hours over time too.

We believe in upskilling and promotion from within, so this is an ideal role for a early-career communications professional with experience under supervision, keen to learn the skills to step up to a more independent, leading role.
