We’re seeking a creative and organised Marketing Assistant Intern to join our team at our Thomastown head office. Supporting our Marketing Coordinator, you’ll gain practical experience across content creation, social media, campaigns, internal communications, events and merchandise.

This is a paid, part-time internship working 2–3 days per week over a 3–6 month fixed term, with the duration agreed based on your availability. It’s a great opportunity for a university student studying marketing, communications or business, or someone seeking practical marketing experience in a part-time role.

Your tasks and responsibilities will include:

• Creating and scheduling social media content, product flyers and marketing materials using tools such as Canva and Adobe.
• Assisting with website updates and responding to online comments, messages and reviews.
• Preparing the monthly newsletter and supporting internal communications.
• Assisting with merchandise creation, ordering and stock tracking.
• Coordinating printing and delivery of marketing materials, uniforms and business cards.
• Supporting events through attendee lists, tickets, promotional materials and general administration.
• Collating marketing data and tracking campaign performance for monthly reporting.
• Supporting the sales team with promotional requirements and assisting with day-to-day marketing requests.
• Following workplace health and safety procedures and reporting hazards or incidents.

What you will bring

• An interest in marketing, communications and content creation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Creativity, attention to detail and a willingness to share ideas.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing tasks and deadlines.
• Familiarity with social media platforms and an interest in design tools such as Canva or Adobe.
• A positive, proactive approach and willingness to learn.
• Alignment with our core values and enthusiasm for working as part of a supportive team.

You don’t need years of experience—we’re looking for someone keen to learn, contribute and get involved.

What’s in it for you?

• Paid experience across a broad range of marketing activities.
• Opportunities to build a portfolio of published content and completed projects.
• Exposure to how marketing supports sales within a national business.
• Practical experience working with internal teams and external suppliers.
• A supportive team, employee recognition and confidential access to our Employee Assistance Program.
