What we do
We support businesses across a broad range of industries, with particular expertise in NDIS and community-focused organisations.
Across our team, our work includes:
- Employee relations: Supporting clients through complex performance management, misconduct, grievances, disciplinary processes, terminations and other challenging workplace situations.
- Generalist HR advice: Providing practical guidance across the employment lifecycle, including employment contracts, policies, leave entitlements and workplace obligations.
- Industrial relations: Interpreting modern awards, enterprise agreements and workplace legislation, advising on employment obligations and supporting clients with unfair dismissal claims, general protections claims and Fair Work Commission matters.
- Restructures and redundancies: Advising clients through organisational change, workforce restructures, consultation obligations and redundancy processes, including managing associated compliance risks.
At our heart, we’re a team of self-confessed HR, IR and ER nerds who enjoy untangling tricky workplace problems and turning them into clear, actionable advice.
You won’t be expected to be an expert in every area. You’ll have opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues. We pride ourselves on developing our team’s technical knowledge and broadening their exposure to different HR challenges.
Why we’re special
We’re built differently, by leaders who genuinely care. We live our values with empathy and integrity, and when we say this job is flexible, we actually mean it.
Here’s what makes working with us different:
- Choose your hours: We’re looking for approximately 24–32 hours per week, on a permanent ongoing basis. You can choose the days and hours that work for you.
- Manage your own schedule: Take ownership of your diary and work around the things that matter — school drop-offs and pick-ups, gym classes, appointments or lunch with friends.
- No unpaid additional hours: Get paid for every minute you’re working. We value your time.
- 100% remote: Work from home, with no office attendance, client site visits or travel required.
- Not a call centre: Our HR on-demand service doesn’t require you to sit in a phone queue waiting for calls.
- No sales targets: You’re not expected to bring in new business, and your employment isn’t tied to securing or retaining individual clients or projects.
- A genuinely supportive team: Work alongside experienced HR and IR professionals who share knowledge, bounce ideas around and back each other when things get tricky.
We believe great HR professionals do their best work when they’re trusted, supported and given the flexibility to manage their lives outside of work.
What you’d be doing
You’ll work directly with a variety of clients, helping them navigate everyday HR questions and more complex employee relations challenges.
A significant part of your role will involve managing complex and escalated performance matters, misconduct concerns, disciplinary processes and challenging employee situations, including more complex matters, such as unfair dismissal claims, general protections claims, organisational restructures and redundancy processes.
If you’ve already managed unfair dismissal or general protections claims, or handled escalated and particularly complex performance management matters, we’d love to hear about this in your cover letter.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Advising clients on employee performance concerns, including developing and managing performance improvement processes.
- Supporting clients through misconduct allegations, disciplinary meetings, grievances and employment terminations.
- Guiding managers through difficult employee conversations, balancing procedural fairness, legislative requirements and practical business outcomes.
- Providing clear, accurate and commercially sensible advice on general HR and employee relations matters.
- Supporting clients with organisational restructures, consultation requirements and redundancy processes.
- Interpreting modern awards, employment legislation and workplace policies to support compliant decision-making.
- Preparing professional HR documentation, including letters, employment contracts, policies and performance management correspondence.
- Building trusted relationships with clients and becoming a reliable point of contact for their HR needs.
- Working collaboratively with our wider team, seeking guidance where needed and contributing your own ideas and experience.
There’s plenty of variety, and no two days are quite the same – that is the joy of consulting!
