Marketing & Communications Coordinator

Not your typical organisation

Let's skip the part where we tell you we're looking for a "dynamic self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment." You've read that a hundred times. Here's what we actually want to tell you…

We're Lives Lived Well, a not-for-profit that supports people across Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia with alcohol and other drug concerns, mental health challenges, and more. We've been doing this for over 50 years, driven by a genuine belief that with the right support, people can change their lives.

And right now, our small but mighty MarComms team needs another creative, curious person to join us.

The role

Full-time permanent role based at our Bowen Hills office and we’re happy for you to work up to two days a week from home.

You'll be part of a tight-knit team that looks after everything from social media and website content to staff newsletters, event support, branded merch, and the occasional new service launch. No two weeks look the same and that's what makes it interesting.

You won't be sitting on the sidelines. This is a hands-on role where you'll be creating, coordinating, and collaborating across the organisation every day.

What you'll actually be doing

Getting our name out there

• Working on marketing materials like flyers, brochures, social content, newsletters and more
• Scheduling and publishing content across our social channels and website
• Supporting digital ad campaigns and keeping our service directory listings up to date
Working with external suppliers to get projects across the line

Keeping our people in the loop

• Writing and publishing content for our intranet, staff newsletter and internal blog
Supporting internal events, staff engagement campaigns, and comms for organisational priorities

Keeping the team running smoothly

• Managing the MarComms inbox and coordinating incoming requests
• Looking after merch and promotional inventory
• Supporting invoicing and credit card reconciliations
• Helping pull together info for reports and marketing plans
Assisting with marketing setup for new service launches

What we're looking for

We're not expecting you to know everything. But we do want someone who's genuinely keen, brings creative energy, and is ready to grow.

You'll need:

• A qualification in marketing, communications, or something related
• At least two years' experience in a marketing, comms or digital content role
• Solid writing skills so you can adapt your tone for different audiences and channels
• Hands-on experience with tools like Canva, WordPress, Mailchimp and socials
• Confidence with Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, the usual suspects)
• Comfort using AI tools to support your work
Amazing attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple jobs on the go

Bonus points if you've got:

• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator)
• Some knowledge of SEO, Google Analytics or paid digital advertising
Basic photography or video skills

Why Lives Lived Well?

Because you'll actually feel like your work matters. The content you create, the campaigns you support, the stories you help tell, they connect people to services that change lives.

Our values aren't something on a poster in the kitchen (well, they might be, we do make posters). They shape how we work:

We are humble, human, and full of hope. We show up and share. We ask "why not?" and "what's next?" We leave a positive wake.

You'll also enjoy:

• Five extra paid leave days per year to support your wellbeing
• Salary packaging to boost your take-home pay
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family
• Fitness Passport membership with discounted access to gyms and pools across Australia
A team that genuinely supports each other and doesn't take itself too seriously

A few practical things

• You'll need to complete a National Police History Check
• A current Australian driver's licence is preferred but not essential
There may be occasional travel, but it's rare

Ready to Apply?

Applications close 5 June 2026 , but we'll be reviewing as they come in, so don't wait until the last minute.
