Job description

THE ORGANISATION

Our client is a values-driven not-for-profit based in Kensington. Their work makes a real difference to patients facing some of the most complex diagnoses in healthcare. Working as part of a small team you will have the opportunity to make a real impact.

THE ROLE

Reporting to the HR Manager, this newly created HR Advisor role will take ownership of operational HR. You will manage the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through to employment contracts and employee records, and support the annual pay review alongside a salary benchmarking project. With few established processes in place, you will design and implement new ones from scratch and help strengthen Work Health and Safety (WHS) practices. This is a hands‑on operational HR role working in Employment Hero.

It is hybrid, with Tuesdays on site plus one additional day, and the office is easily reached by light rail and bus. Availability throughout January 2027 is essential.

The position is part‑time at 0.4–0.6 FTE (two to three days per week), offered on a temporary basis with scope to extend.

THE CRITERIA

To be successful in this part‑time HR Generalist role, you will be proactive, highly organised and thrive on ownership and autonomy. You will bring solid operational HR experience, ideally gained in a lean or small business environment where you have worn many hats and built processes from the ground up. Working knowledge of WHS is highly desirable, and experience with Employment Hero, or the tech‑savvy confidence to master it quickly, is important. Exposure to research, academic or higher education settings will be well regarded.

At Peoplecorp, we are dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion in every recruitment process. We believe that a rich variety of perspectives drives innovation and success. We actively seek candidates from all backgrounds and encourage individuals of all races, genders, abilities, and experiences to apply.
