About the Role

This is an ideal opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates.

This role will provide social media, communications and administration support to the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) Foundation, our Indigenous Fashion Projects and other events, programs and services.

It’s a diverse, busy position that ranges from the exciting (like capturing on-the-fly content at events), through to thoughtful crafting of content (for audiences from sophisticated art collectors to aspiring fashionistas), to administrative tasks like collating data, keeping records and customer service.

This is an ideal opportunity for First Nations story tellers and aspiring social media mavens. Through DAAF Foundation’s channels, you’ll be sharing stories of Country, art, design and culture from across our diverse community of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Centres, artists and designers.

You’ll be working with a small, highly skilled and versatile team who will help you develop your knowledge and abilities to manage the day to day content and administration of our social media channels, and support our PR and media activities.

If you are keen to learn, social media savvy, and have skills like graphic design/ copywriting / photography / videography, we’d love to hear from you!

Why You'll Love It:

• Build hands-on experience in a dynamic, creative industry.
• Work in a supportive, innovative and culturally competent environment.
• Flexible part-time hours and location (Darwin preferred, but remote work is an option for the right candidate)

You’ll be joining a sector-leading, high profile Indigenous cultural organisation with a warm, talented and supportive team and a respectful and inclusive workplace culture. It’s exciting, challenging and rewarding!
