City of Unley are expanding their Marketing and Communications team and looking to recruit a full-time Digital Content Creator.

Who’s hiring?
The City of Unley is five minutes from the Adelaide CBD, known for its leafy streets, inclusive and connected programs, and that warm, community feel. But here’s what you might not know: we’re also home to one of the most dynamic comms teams in local government. We’re bold, creative, values-led—and we care deeply about doing work that actually matters. Now, we’re on the lookout for a Digital Content Creator to help us bring the City of Unley’s stories to life across web, social, video and more. If you’ve got a creative eye, a way with words, and the kind of brain that gets excited about analytics dashboards (go on, admit it)—keep reading.

So, what’s the role?
As our new Digital Content Creator, you’ll be the go-to person for creating the digital content that connects our community.

You won’t be doing it alone—you’ll be part of a smart, supportive team that values collaboration and creativity.

• A full-time role where you’ll flex your creativity, storytelling skills and digital know-how

• A fast-paced, supportive team that celebrates bold ideas and enjoys coming to work each day 
• The opportunity to shape the City of Unley’s digital presence—and see your work out in the world
• Ongoing professional development and growth (yes, we’re looking at you, future Digital Comms Manager)
