This is a fun, fast-paced role that incorporates employing a strong social media presence, along with creating content for the Recreation Porirua. One moment you'll be posting on Facebook about an event, then you'll be racing off to film a members story about the life changing programmes they have been a part of with us.

Working for Porirua City is an opportunity to use your communications skills to make a real difference in the community. We provide services that make people's lives better every single day, which we think is pretty cool.

You'll be part of a supportive, creative team that's innovative and makes things happen. To top it off you'll have the harbour, bush, cafes, shops at your fingertips in this compact city - so it's a pretty great place to work.

We have a lot going on and sharing these opportunities will make Porirua an even more exciting place to live.

• take a lead role in the coordination of Recreation Porirua's web content
• create content using videography and photography
• utilise social media management and analytics tools to share content
• tell stories in a simple, authentic and interesting way
• capture high-quality visuals from various events that you attend
• create content for our social media channels that is engaging for our community
• create and execute effective paid online campaigns
• be an active member of our Recreation team and lead the monitoring of our social media engagement

• are super passionate about conveying our stories that inspire people
• have experience in creating and crafting content for social media and, on occasion, for media
• have experience working in a creative, digital environment
• have a great understanding of how social media platforms work to effectively engage with different audiences
