Be part of something bigger

In this role, you’ll provide end-to-end HR and employee relations advisory support, partnering with leaders to navigate a busy and complex portfolio of workplace relations matters with confidence, empathy, and fairness.

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

• Partner with leaders to manage and support performance management, conduct grievances, investigations, and dispute resolution matters from end to end, often concurrently across multiple complex cases.
• Manage a high-volume and varied caseload of ER/IR matters, ensuring timely, consistent, and well-documented outcomes.
• Prepare and review documentation relating to ER/IR issues, including reports and evidence-based recommendations.
• Provide guidance and advice to leaders on navigating non-compensable injuries and illnesses.
• Provide specialised coaching and guidance to leaders to help them navigate people challenges confidently and consistently.
• Interpret and apply Enterprise Agreements, Modern Awards, legislation, and industrial instruments to ensure best practice outcomes.

About you

You’ll bring:

• A minimum of 1 year demonstrated experience managing IR/ER matters in a not-for-profit or similarly complex organisation, with exposure to managing multiple cases simultaneously.
• Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
• Sound knowledge in employment legislation, industrial instruments, and ER/IR best practices.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a high-volume, fast-paced environment while maintaining attention to detail and delivering quality outcomes.
