Student Digital Content Assistant

UNSW is looking for a creative, social media–savvy student to help shape content across social media channels for the Faculty of Medicine & Health.

If you’re the sort of person who instinctively spots trends before everyone else, enjoys creating short-form content, and genuinely understands student culture at UNSW, particularly in the health space, this role offers the chance to turn that into meaningful paid experience.

Working within the UNSW Division of Societal Impact, Equity and Engagement (DSIEE), you’ll help showcase the Faculty’s world-class research, student experiences, events and community through engaging, platform-native content.

As the Faculty’s Student Digital Content Assistant, you’ll work closely with the Senior External Engagement Manager and News & Content Coordinator to support day-to-day social media activity across Medicine & Health channels. From content planning and creation, execution and editing, through to community engagement and analytics, you’ll play a hands-on role in shaping how the Faculty connects with current and future students online.

No two days will look the same. One day you might be filming student content on campus, the next you could be covering an event, editing video reels, tracking social trends or helping bring a research story to life online.

We’re looking for someone who is creative, proactive, confident communicating with different audiences, and excited by digital storytelling and social media.

This role will:

Assist in the creation, shooting, editing, and posting of video and image content for Instagram Reels and TikTok, that showcases themes of student experience, news and research, campus vibrancy and trending topics, featuring in videos/photos where necessary.
Contribute ideas for social media posts and videos and format content in line with the UNSW Social Media Style Guide.
Contribute to video-based content with a strong, distinctive student voice. Assist in monitoring performance of content, by observing changes and trends on social media platforms and reporting these observations back to the News & Content Coordinator.
Assist in continually testing new methods of engaging with UNSW’s social audience and help adjust the execution of content, learning from results.
Align with and actively demonstrate the UNSW Values in Action: Our Behaviours and the UNSW Code of Conduct
Cooperate with all health and safety policies and procedures of the university and take all reasonable care to ensure that your actions or omissions do not impact on the health and safety of yourself or others.
