About us:

Lutheran Services is a not-for-profit organisation that has been serving the people and communities of Queensland since 1935. We provide quality, contemporary care and support for people of all backgrounds, at more than 20 locations throughout Queensland.

Our dedicated workforce of nearly 1800 makes a difference in the lives of many people every day. Our staff bring our vision to life – helping those we serve to pursue the lives they hope for and enabling the communities we are part of to thrive.

About the role:

We are seeking a passionate, dedicated Corporate Affairs Manager who can grow our reputation as an employer and provider of choice.

Reporting to the General Manager – Communication and Engagement, the Corporate Affairs Manager will bring a contemporary lens to the Corporate Affairs function, managing:

• Corporate affairs and issues management
• Corporate communications and publications (including digital platforms)
• Stakeholder engagement.

The role will see you working directly with the CEO and Executive Leadership team. You will also play a pivotal role in the implementation of our five-year Stakeholder Engagement strategy.

About you:

As our ideal candidate, you will be an excellent communicator with outstanding relationship management skills. You will be confident communicating with diverse audiences, from Lutheran Services’ clients and their families through to government, industry and church stakeholders.

You will bring significant experience in corporate affairs, communication management and/or stakeholder engagement and you will thrive in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple, competing priorities. You will have highly developed corporate writing skills, with the ability to adapt messaging for diverse audiences. 

You might be a seasoned practitioner looking to move into the not-for-profit space or a 5+ years experienced person looking for a step up to managing a corporate affairs function.

Prior experience in the Aged Care, Community Services and/or non-profit sector would be valued but is not essential.

You will also be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and prepared to undertake a National Criminal History Check.

In collaboration with your colleagues in the broader Customer, Marketing and Product team, success in your role will be demonstrated by:

• Improved organisational capability in media and crisis management
• Strong, meaningful relationships between Lutheran Services and key stakeholders, including government, industry, corporate and church
• Growth of Lutheran Services’ reputation as a provider and employer of choice.

As a member of the Lutheran Services team, you will enjoy a great work-life balance, generous benefits, flexible working arrangements (including hybrid onsite and work from home options) and ongoing opportunities for professional development and career progression.

In addition to your salary, you can access up to $15,900p.a in salary packaging options, which considerably increases your take-home pay!
