Retired journalist or PR - volunteer from your own desk

Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds

You're a retiree who is time flexible and understands that media timeframes must be met. If you have the following skills, we would love to hear from you:

  • at least ten years' experience in media and PR work,
  • great grammar, spelling and punctuation, as well as problem-solving skills,
  • proven ability to write one page news releases that can be distributed to media outlets,
  • willing to use AP style guidelines and apply for a library card which will give you access to Australian media industry contacts,
  • happy to work from your own desk at home, but willing to liaise with team members as needed.

While we welcome people of all ages to apply for this work, we've found retirees have the extra time flexibility to deal with emerging issues.

The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds is a dedicated group of volunteers across Australia committed to ending greyhound suffering. CPG exposes the cruelty and corruption of greyhound racing and lobbies state governments to close the industry down.

CPG will fight until the day that no greyhound suffers death, injury or abuse at the hands of the greyhound racing industry. We are all volunteers and we need help across various roles, including writing media releases, undertaking media liaison and planning PR projects.

CPG strives to create a safe and inclusive culture with wellbeing at its centre. We embrace diversity and welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with diverse gender and sexual identities, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and people with disability.
