Can you transform complex government policies into engaging stories? Do you excel at managing community expectations and crafting clear, impactful messages?

Randstad is the trusted recruitment partner for multiple WA State Government departments across the Perth CBD. Due to an influx of new public campaigns, infrastructure projects, and internal transformation initiatives, we are seeking talented and versatile Communications Officers for upcoming contract opportunities.

Whether you are an experienced public sector communicator or a corporate specialist looking to transition your skills into a purpose-driven government career, we want to connect with you.

• Campaign & Event Support: Assisting with the rollout of public awareness campaigns, community consultation workshops, and official government launches.

• Digital Communication: Managing and updating government web pages (using CMS platforms) and scheduling engaging content across official social media channels.

To be successful in securing a State Government contract, you will need:

• Exceptional Writing Skills: The ability to write clearly and adapt your tone for different audiences, adhering strictly to government style guides and accessibility standards.

• Public Sector Awareness: Prior experience in government communications, or a strong understanding of how to navigate politically sensitive environments, is highly regarded.

• Project Management Mindset: The organisational skills to manage multiple deadlines, coordinate approvals through complex hierarchies, and remain calm under pressure.
