Captain Starlight - Brisbane QCH

About Us 

Starlight’s mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Our programs bring fun, joy and laughter when kids need it most, because happiness matters. 

About the Role  

We're currently looking for part-time team members to join our Queensland Children’s Hospital team! Working four days a week across a flexible roster you will join a vibrant team creating positive moments for children and families during some of their most challenging times. In this role you will: 

• Make a real and positive difference to the lives of others. 

• Be part of our diverse, national team of more than 160 talented actors and performers, each bringing their own skills, creative strengths and professional networks. 

One of the most exciting parts of joining the QCH team is the opportunity to take part in our Healthier Futures Initiative (HFI) trips. These trips take you beyond the hospital walls and into remote communities across Australia, where you’ll bring joy and connection to kids in rural areas.

You’ll travel by road and small plane to some of the most unique and beautiful parts of the country, places few people ever get to see. It’s a chance to spend time outdoors, immerse yourself in local culture, and make a real impact in communities that truly appreciate it.

Shifts and audition requirements confirmed during the recruitment process. We have a permanent and a twelve-month fixed term contract available.

About You 
 

• You're a master of quick-thinking, reading a room and delivering exceptional experiences in a safe, imaginative, and entertaining way. 

• You're authentic, playful, and love collaborating with others to create memorable moments. 

• The Captain Starlight character is an extension of you - they are positive, warm, and able to change the mood of a room through playfulness and fun. 
• You’re ready for adventure! You have the availability and commitment to join some of our Healthier Futures Initiative (HFI) trips, traveling to remote communities and bringing joy to kids in places few people ever get to see.

The minimum criteria for this position is a bachelor's degree (or higher qualification) or at least five years of performance experience.
