At the Y, we believe in the power of inspired young people. A community not-for-profit organisation with 17 million participations annually across Australia. 8,000 staff and volunteers serve at more than 150 locations every day. We partner with government and private capital to deliver programs and services that include community recreation, adventure and stadium sports, camping, learn to swim, children's programs, early learning, youth services, retirement living, disability services and social enterprises.
This role is part of the Marketing, Communications and Sales team, which is based at Box Hill and IKON Park. Our offices remain closed due to COVID, and a project team is working on what the return to our offices will look like. It's an exciting time to join the Y as we reimagine how our office spaces can be used, and how we can maintain some of the benefits staff have enjoyed about working from home.
The Y is looking for an enthusiastic communicator with a passion for storytelling and content creation, and the ability to tailor messages to key audiences. If you have impeccable grammar and punctuation, enjoy a cheesy pun, and thrive on wordsmithing complex information into something easy to understand – this is the job for you.
We're looking for a creative, organised, keen learner who can work on numerous projects at a time and never miss a deadline.
Bonus points if you are a media junky who knows what is newsworthy at any given time – both in traditional and modern media.
To apply, please address the selection criteria in your cover letter.
