Are you a hands-on storyteller, strategic thinker, and passionate communicator ready to make a real impact?

Expand the impact and influence of our national child, youth and family organisation.

Kids First Australia is a leading child, youth and family services organisation with a 130-year legacy of standing beside children and families. We exist to improve the life trajectories of children and young people across Australia. This inspires us every day.

As our Communications & Marketing Lead, you will be the voice behind our purpose and work to elevate our presence and influence at a local and national scale.

We want to hear from you if you enjoy:

• Crafting compelling marketing campaigns to spotlight programs and services
• Developing high-impact content across digital, print, and social platforms to drive engagement
• Leading internal communications that inspire and unite team members
• Amplifying thought leadership and advocacy to influence national conversations
• Collaborating with a talented team to deliver aligned, strategic messaging.

What you bring

Clearly, you'll have a way with words - and a qualification or relevant experience to match. You have previously worked in a role that's seen you drive communications and content aligned to business needs. (What that business is? We're not too fussed.)

You're comfortable writing copy, working on the tools (Canva and the like) and building campaigns, juggling internal comms and spinning a few plates simultaneously - because we're a small team, and that's how we roll.

What we offer

• The chance to see your broad range of projects through from inception to delivery — rolling your sleeves up to get into the detail, then stepping back to paint the strategic picture
• Salary packaging
• Flexible, hybrid working including a monthly RDO, and 3 extra days' leave over Christmas
• Professional development
• An inclusive and outcomes-focused culture.
