Communications Advisor - Parental Leave Cover

We’re looking for a kaitohu whakapa/communications advisor to step into a 12month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave, starting as soon as possible.

You'll be joining a busy, friendly Communications and Engagement team who support the strategic direction of Rotorua Lakes Council, working with staff at all levels as well as with external partners and stakeholders. We are a collaborative bunch who support one another and enjoy a laugh.

Our organisation is outcomes-focused, values-based and proudly bicultural, delivering on a mission to bring about positive change and progress for the Rotorua rohe and its residents.

At the same time, we're involved in addressing key social challenges in our community and partnerships with iwi, Central Government and community stakeholders are key to how we work to achieve positive outcomes.

No two days are the same here, so we’re looking for an experienced communicator who brings fresh ideas, enjoys a challenge, and thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. You’ll be outcomes-driven, able to get the mahi done, and remain calm and focused when things get busy.

You’ll lead our internal communications mahi and support projects across our Community Experience, Parks and Open Spaces portfolios. From time to time, you’ll also take on other communications work and support emergency management communications as needed.

Rotorua is a great place to live with plenty of activities. We have a fantastic forest full of trails for walking, running and mountain biking and gorgeous lakes, there are plenty of sports clubs to join and sporty events to enter, arts events and shows to enjoy and hot pools to soak in.
