Job description

Royal Agricultural Society of NSW – Olympic Park NSW

17h ago , from Royal Agricultural Society of NSW

Build your HR career somewhere a little different. Want an HR role where no two days look quite the same? The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) is looking for an energetic and ambitious HR Coordinator who wants to build broad, hands‑on HR experience across the full employee lifecycle.

You’ll work closely with the General Manager – HR & Safety, gaining exposure to recruitment, employee relations, industrial relations, HR systems, policy, employee development and HR operations.

And you won’t just be supporting an office workforce. You’ll be part of the team behind the Sydney Royal Easter Show, one of Australia’s largest annual ticketed events, as well as the diverse operations of the RAS.

If you’re early in your HR career and ready to learn, contribute and take ownership, this could be a great next step.

Why work with us?

There’s plenty to enjoy about working at the RAS, including but not limited to:

• Be part of the team behind the iconic Sydney Royal Easter Show and Showground events
• Work for a Great Place to Work certified organisation
• Work-life balance and flexibility
• Free onsite parking at Sydney Olympic Park
• Salary packaging and novated leasing options
• Salary protection insurance
• Generous Employee Assistance Program
• Complimentary Sydney Royal Easter Show tickets and meals
• Staff draws for tickets to Sydney Showground events
• Staff engagement and wellbeing initiatives
• Access to exclusive Sydney Olympic Park employee benefits

The opportunity

• This is a true generalist HR role with plenty of variety and an opportunity to develop your HR capability.
• Working closely with the GM – HR & Safety, you’ll support our people and leaders across the employee lifecycle and help deliver practical, responsive and professional HR services across the organisation.
• You’ll take ownership of end‑to‑end recruitment for our permanent workforce and play an important role in our major Sydney Royal Easter Show seasonal recruitment campaign.

You’ll also:

• Support managers and employees with day-to-day HR advice
• Assist with employee relations matters and workplace issues
• Support the interpretation and application of relevant Awards, industrial instruments, policies and employment conditions
• Coordinate onboarding, employment changes and offboarding
• Maintain employee information and HR records through our HR systems
• Help maintain and improve HR policies, procedures and templates
• Maintain organisational charts and workforce information
• Support employee development and broader people initiatives
• Prepare HR reports, documentation and presentations
• Look for smarter and more efficient ways of doing things

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply process paperwork. We want someone who is curious about why we do things and wants to understand how great HR can help a business perform. You will have a great team to support you.

About you

You’re someone who is ready to learn, but you’re also prepared to roll up your sleeves and get things done.

You’re organised, proactive and resourceful. You pay attention to the details, communicate well and can build relationships with people at all levels of an organisation.

Most importantly, you believe in good HR – HR that understands the operation, provides practical solutions, supports and develops people, and maintains strong compliance and governance.

You’ll be comfortable working in a busy environment where priorities can change quickly, particularly as we prepare for and deliver the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

You’ll also bring:

• Experience in HR, recruitment, people operations or a related environment
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confidence using HR systems – UKG experience would be highly regarded
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence dealing with a range of stakeholders
• Initiative and a solutions-focused mindset
• An interest in HR technology and improving processes
• HR qualifications or relevant tertiary studies – highly regarded

Above all, we’re looking for someone with the attitude, curiosity and drive to develop their HR career.
