This is a creative and hands-on role, perfect for someone who loves to write and has a knack for digital content with a focus on video for social media. This role supports someone who wants to grow in the communications and public relations space.

About the Role

 You will be responsible for discovering and creating engaging customer stories that celebrate inclusion, achievement and the Rocky Bay community. These stories will be part of our internal communications and will also be pitched to local and regional media outlets to amplify awareness of the work we do.

In addition to storytelling, you will support the growth of Rocky Bay’s social media presence by creating original, creative content, with a particular focus on short-form video for platforms like Instagram and Facebook. You will also be able to create more corporate content for LinkedIn.

This role is suited to someone who is enthusiastic, willing to learn and is full of ideas. You will work closely with the broader marketing team to support campaigns, events and internal initiatives
