Community Engagement Officer
Simply Helping South Brisbane
Casual | Flexible hours | Brisbane South
Be the face of Simply Helping in the Brisbane South community
Simply Helping has been providing in-home care and support across Australia for over 28 years. Simply Helping South Brisbane is locally owned and operated, providing aged care, NDIS and private support to help people remain safe, independent and connected in their own homes.
We're looking for a confident and personable Community Engagement Officer to help us build stronger connections across Brisbane South.
This isn't a desk-based marketing role. You'll be out in the community, meeting people face-to-face, introducing Simply Helping, building genuine relationships and making sure local organisations know who we are and how we can help the people they support.
This isn't about hard selling. It's about building trust, creating genuine connections and keeping Simply Helping front of mind when someone needs support.
What you'll be doing
Your main focus will be community outreach and relationship building, including:
-
Visiting Support Coordinators, Aged Care Case Managers, Allied Health professionals and community organisations across Brisbane South to introduce Simply Helping and build ongoing relationships
-
Representing Simply Helping at expos, networking and community events
-
Hosting pop-up information kiosks at shopping centres and community locations
-
Representing the business at external engagements when required
-
Following up and maintaining relationships with stakeholders you've met
-
Identifying new opportunities to increase Simply Helping's presence in the local community
-
Keeping simple and accurate records of visits, conversations and follow-ups
-
Providing feedback on what you're hearing in the community and where you see opportunities
You'll work from a structured weekly outreach plan, but you'll also have the freedom to use your initiative and identify opportunities yourself.
Who we're looking for
This role will suit someone who genuinely enjoys meeting people and isn't afraid to walk into an organisation, introduce themselves and start a conversation.
You'll be:
-
Confident, friendly and naturally good at building relationships
-
Comfortable approaching new organisations and people face-to-face
-
Self-motivated and able to work independently in the community
-
Professional, reliable and organised
-
A strong communicator who can explain our services without using a hard-sell approach
-
Comfortable representing Simply Helping independently at stakeholder visits and community activities
-
Results-focused and willing to take ownership of the role
Previous experience in NDIS, aged care, disability, community services, stakeholder engagement or business development would be highly regarded.
If you already understand the NDIS or aged care sector, or have existing professional networks within it, we'd particularly like to hear from you.
What you'll need
-
Current driver's licence and reliable vehicle, as regular travel throughout Brisbane South is a key part of the role
-
NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain
-
Working with Children Check / Blue Card
-
Current First Aid and CPR
-
Australian working rights
Why join Simply Helping?
This is a newly created role, so you'll have the opportunity to make it your own and have a genuine impact on the growth of our local business.
We offer:
-
Approximately 10–15 casual hours per week, predominantly during business hours
-
Flexible scheduling
-
Supportive onboarding and training
-
A clear operational brief covering responsibilities, expectations, reporting and KPIs
-
Opportunities to attend expos, events and networking sessions
-
Plenty of independence rather than being stuck behind a desk
-
The opportunity for the role to grow as Simply Helping South Brisbane grows
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who wants to build something with us, rather than simply complete a list of visits.
How to apply
If you're passionate about community connection, enjoy meeting new people and want a role where you can genuinely make an impact, we'd love to hear from you.
Please apply with your resume and a short cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why you think you'd be good at building relationships in the aged care and disability community.
We'd especially love to hear about any experience you've had building stakeholder relationships, referral networks or community connections.
Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
