Corporate Events Officer - Permanent Part Time (21hours)

At Penrith City Council, it's not about having to choose.

Life with us is the best of both worlds.

What we offer you

- Salary: $53.00 to 61.36 per hour plus 12% Superannuation
- Flexible Working Arrangements: Flexible work options available
- Opportunities for professional development and growth
- A collaborative, supportive and high-performing Communications team
- The chance to deliver meaningful events that create lasting impact across our city
- Access to fitness passport and complimentary access to Ripples Leisure Centres
- The best of both worlds – challenge, growth, support and impact

Here's what you'll be up to...

As our Corporate Events Officer, you'll play a key role in planning, coordinating and delivering a diverse portfolio of civic, ceremonial and organisational events that showcase Penrith City Council and strengthen connections with our community.

Working closely with the Communications Program Manager, Civic Events Lead and stakeholders across Council, you'll work on end-to-end delivery of events, from concept development and planning through to promotion, logistics, delivery and evaluation.

You'll:

- Develop and project manage a range of civic, ceremonial and organisational events aligned to Council objectives
- Create event plans, programs and communications activities that deliver engaging experiences and measurable outcomes
- Coordinate event logistics including VIP management, run sheets, suppliers, volunteers, venues and support services
- Work collaboratively across Council departments and external stakeholders to deliver successful events
- Manage event marketing and communications activities, including promotional campaigns and collateral
- Monitor budgets, procurement processes, sponsorship opportunities and event-related financial activities
- Evaluate event outcomes, analyse performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement




- Represent Council professionally while building positive relationships with community, government and industry stakeholders

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a quick-paced environment and loves seeing a project come to life from start to finish.

Who we are (and why you'll love us)

We're a passionate Communications team that believes great events help tell the story of our city, celebrate achievements and bring people together.

You'll join a supportive and collaborative environment where ideas are encouraged, achievements are celebrated and professional growth is actively supported. We value teamwork, creativity, adaptability and a willingness to get involved.

No two days are the same in our team. One day you might be coordinating a civic ceremony, the next you're liaising with stakeholders or managing event logistics. We work together to deliver experiences that make a real difference to our organisation and community.

If you're someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems and creating memorable experiences, you'll fit right in.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for an enthusiastic permanent part-time events professional who is organised, proactive and passionate about delivering exceptional outcomes.

Ideally, you'll bring:

- Experience having developed or delivered events, festivals, civic celebrations or organisational events
- Strong project management, stakeholder engagement and organisational skills
- Experience developing and implementing event marketing and communications activities




- The ability to manage multiple priorities while remaining calm and adaptable under pressure
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a customer-focused mindset
- A collaborative approach and a genuine desire to contribute to the success of the team, organisation and community

Qualifications in Event Management, Communications, Marketing or a related discipline will be highly regarded.
