Queensland’s caravan and residential parks are more than holiday destinations. They are small businesses, community hubs and, increasingly, part of Queensland’s housing solution.
CPAQ is the peak body representing caravan parks across the state. We advocate, we inform, we connect, and we ensure our industry has a strong, united voice.
Now we’re looking for someone to lead our Industry Communications.
Do you want to…
- Be responsible for communications that caravan and residential parks genuinely rely on?
- Turn complex industry updates into clear, practical information?
- Work closely with a CEO who values initiative over micro-management?
- Build real-world communications and public relations experience?
- Have flexibility that genuinely works around your life?
If so, keep reading.
The Role
You will own our Industry Communication, including:
- Member newsletters
- Blog posts and industry updates
- Website content
- LinkedIn, (B2B) Facebook and Instagram plus our private Facebook group
- Occasional media engagement
- Consumer facing content highlighting holiday experiences
There is a clear communications calendar in place. You won’t be building strategy from scratch but you will be trusted to bring clarity and initiative to how it’s delivered, meeting clear deadlines.
This is a role for someone who enjoys taking ownership and seeing their work out in the world.
Do you want flexibility that actually works?
- 16 hours per week
- Flexible days and times
- School hours are absolutely workable
- Ability to flex hours across school terms
- Based in our Albion office (hybrid may be considered for the right candidate)
In the past, this role has worked well for return-to-work parents, university students and career changers who want meaningful work, not just a stopgap job.
Start date: ASAP.
You might be right for this if you:
- Love writing and can make complex information easy to understand
- Meet deadlines without being chased
- Take initiative and follow things through
- Are confident asking for clarification when needed
- Enjoy working independently within a small team
Essential
- Excellent writing and editing skills
- Strong organisational ability
- Canva capability
- A proactive, self-starting mindset
Desirable
- Mailchimp or similar newsletter platform experience
- Experience scheduling social media content
- Interest in tourism, small business or advocacy
Industry experience isn’t required but curiosity and a willingness to learn is.
What you’ll gain
- Real ownership of a communications function
- Exposure to advocacy and policy
- A portfolio of meaningful, practical work
- Experience in a resilient, aspirational industry
- A flexible role in a high-trust environment
This is a role you can grow in.
