About the Communications and Engagement Team

Our Communications and Engagement team sits at the centre of EMPHN connecting people, ideas, and information across the organisation to the outside world.

We are a collaborative, positive group that values creativity, clear communication, and shared problem solving. We partner closely with teams across EMPHN to ensure messages are consistent, purposeful, and aligned with our strategic priorities.

From crafting content and coordinating events to uplifting internal communication practices, we work together to make information accessible, engaging, and reflective of who we are as an organisation.

You’ll be joining a team that supports each other, celebrates collective success, and isn’t afraid to try new things.

About the role

• Updating our website and intranet
• Providing administrative and coordination support across the team

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, people focused environment and enjoys juggling varied tasks with accuracy and care.
