We are looking for a dedicated and motivated people person to join our North Queensland branch. This position is a customer facing, field based role, primarily working within schools and with staff and students to capture imagery for use in School Photography products.

The Role

The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic, organised, friendly people person who enjoys early starts and working with children. This role requires the ability to work with both individuals and groups of 50+ students or staff.

No two days look the same - one day you might be photographing a primary school, the next a high school. It's fast-paced, rewarding, and genuinely fun.

A team-player mindset

A process-driven approach - you follow instructions accurately and consistently

Punctuality and a well-presented, professional appearance

Photography experience is a bonus, not a requirement - we'll teach you the technical side. What matters most is your attitude and how you work with people.

What's On Offer

• Generous mileage reimbursement
• Casual work during school terms
• Hands-on training - no prior photography experience needed
• The chance to be part of a genuinely supportive, established team, with ongoing mentorship and opportunities to grow your skills
• Varied, active work - no two days are the same

Training

We'll set you up for success before you start. Training is provided ahead of the role, plus ongoing support once you're out in the field - with an initial one-week training program held in January.
