Media and Communications Manager
Respect - Where Every Story Matters.
At Respect, we’re more than an aged care provider - we’re a national, purpose-led organisation redefining what it means to age with dignity. With over 100 years of service and a growing footprint across Australia, our vision is to make life better for older Australians, every single day.
We’re on the lookout for a Media and Communications Manager with a passion for storytelling, brand building, and purpose driven messaging to help amplify our voice and strengthen our national reputation. Ideally, you’re a communications unicorn; someone who can confidently craft media responses, write heartfelt and engaging stories for both staff and customers, develop compelling ad copy, and think strategically while building genuine relationships across all levels of the organisation.
If that sounds like you, amazing! But even if you’re not a master of every area, but just a gun in some of them, we still want to hear from you. We value potential, passion, and the right attitude just as much as experience. This role is remote, open to applicants Australia wide.
Your Role at a Glance
As our Media and Communications Manager, you'll lead and execute a dynamic communications strategy that drives Respect’s brand visibility and impact, both externally and internally. You’ll bring our values to life across every touchpoint: from compelling media releases and digital content to engaging internal comms and inspiring newsletter stories.
