About us - Tender Funerals Illawarra is part of the community movement towards reclaiming the rites around death and dying, one of life’s most important experiences. We hope to empower people to take control of their dying, their deaths and their funerals. We are a community project in the heart of Port Kembla and we rely on funding from multiple sources.

About the role - We have grown considerably since our inception. We are now looking to expand our communications and marketing capacity to increase our visibility and reach.

About you - You will have:

• a proven track record in creating engaging online content and building a targeted following
• artistic flair, and experience in designing engaging online and offline communications
• experience in identifying different communications channels and audiences
• excellent organisational skills and high attention to detail.

Your experience and knowledge can come from professional and/or personal contexts. Please include your social media handles in your application.

As a community service, guided by kindness, we expect volunteers to be respectful, compassionate and inclusive.

What we offer - We think Tender Funerals Illawarra is a pretty special place. As somewhere for and of the community, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They contribute their time, humanity, compassion, knowledge, skills, life experience, sense of humour and dedication to Tender’s aim of delivering meaningful and affordable funerals.

In return volunteers can expect to:

• Be supported: you will be part of a small, collaborative and friendly team who want to help each other.
• Take part in meaningful work: All activities, however big or small, help us achieve our wider goal of inspiring change in the culture around death. Volunteering at Tender offers the chance to make a real difference to families in need.
• Learn and grow: While some volunteers prefer to focus on one particular aspect of Tender’s work, we also offer opportunities to learn new skills, for volunteers who would like to do so.
