Digital Content Producer - TAFE Students Preferred null

• We are on the lookout for someone to join the Emen8 team and play a vital role in implementing our national HIV and Sexual Health Education Program. ACON’s Surry Hills (Sydney) Office, with flexible working options a possibility (away from the office).

What’s Emen8 you say?

Emen8 is a joint project between two of Australia’s leading LGBTQ health organisations; ACON (in NSW) and Thorne Harbour Health (in VIC). It’s a federal government funded project that seeks to take innovative approaches in providing online resources for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), with a focus on HIV and sexual transmitted infections.

Ok, so what’s the role?

The Digital Content Producer is essentially what it says on the box. You will:

• … design and create content across our social media channels, as well as longer form blog content for the emen8.com.au website.
• … be instrumental in empowering GBMSM to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, and the best part is you get to do it in a way that isn’t dry or dull.
• … talk about sex… and much more. Emen8 is all about creating truly engaging and interesting content. We talk about all things sexual health, queer culture, relationships, and other topics. So you’ll need to be confident on all fronts to foster conversations online for queer guys.

Who are we looking for?:

• … someone eager to help our community, with their finger on the pulse of relevant trends and LGBTQ news.
• … someone driven to grow our following and foster a community through engaging conversations.
• … with a creative mind who loves to write and brainstorm ideas for content.
• … and handy with Photoshop (and a real bonus if you’re handy with a bit of video editing too).
• … someone who takes initiative and can work autonomously within a collaborative team.
