Content Writer & Media Officer

We are seeking an experienced Content Writer and Media Officer to join our Media & Marketing team on a permanent part-time basis.

The right candidate will have a minimum of 3-5 years’ experience working in a similar role. 

The content we create must emanate the firm’s intent, which is to help people and change their lives for the better. We are looking for someone who can contribute to our content strategy, write material that educates the public about their legal rights and helps us connect with the community. 

This role also offers the opportunity to work closely with our sponsorship charity partners, assist with other marketing activities, and promoting the profiles of our lawyers and the firm in general.  

At Attwood Marshall Lawyers, we are committed to making a positive impact on people’s lives through our legal services, and we are looking for someone who shares this passion. We have a hard-won reputation for fighting fiercely for our clients and obtaining the best outcomes in their cases. 

For over 75 years, we have been dedicated to serving the community with an intent to help people and change their lives for the better. Our values are integrity, understanding, and responsibility.

Attwood Marshall Lawyers is an established, reputable law firm that traces its origins in the Coolangatta/Tweed Heads area to when Eric Attwood set up his legal practice after the Second World War in 1946. 

We moved into our current Coolangatta beachfront offices located in The Strand building in 1989 and have continued to grow ever since, with over 65 staff and additional offices located at Robina Town Centre, Southport, Kingscliff, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. 

We are a family orientated law firm with an emphasis on work/life balance. We support our employees in their work environment and provide excellent office conditions, utilising the latest in practice management systems (LEAP) and technology. Staff have modern workspaces with natural light and ergonomic equipment. Our office systems also support working from home, if required. We are a paperless office and have a large focus on automation and technology advancements to help with progressing our client’s matters as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

We traditionally act for people in the most stressful periods of their lives, and it is very important that our lawyers, paralegals, and support staff understand this crucial issue. We offer ongoing training for professional and personal development to assist in effective communication with clients, family, and colleagues.
