We are looking for a creative, dependable and hands-on individual to help us communicate the MBIS experience effectively and consistently across our digital platforms.

We are seeking a creative, reliable and proactive Digital Media & Communications Officer to take responsibility for the school’s day-to-day digital content and social media presence. This is a practical content-creation role, not a purely strategic or desk-based marketing position. The successful candidate will work fully on-site, Monday to Friday, and will be actively involved in school life — capturing photographs and videos, creating graphics, editing Reels, writing captions, planning content and publishing consistently. We are looking for someone who can take content from idea to publication without constant direction, and who naturally notices opportunities to tell the MBIS story.
