The Australian Education Union is a values-driven, fulfilling place to work and offers excellent support and conditions in this full-time permanent position upon successful completion of a six-month probation period.

About the role

You will be responsible for written content, digital communication, online communities and data management that mobilises members and supports the AEU’s campaigns and organising work.

Maintaining the AEU’s proud position as the strongest voice for educators and public education, you will build this power in our membership and turn clicks into conversations and action.

Join the AEU Tasmania Campaigns Team and work with inspiring Organisers, Reps and Members.

You will develop and implement digital organising strategies that engage members and supporters, and identify leads or potential activists.

As someone as comfortable on social media platforms as you are in schools, colleges and other workplaces, you will plan and execute communications across all our channels, including Electronic Direct Mail and peer-to-peer SMS.
