About All Types of Care Queensland

All Types of Care Queensland (ATCQ) is a growing, family-owned NDIS provider delivering Supported Independent Living (SIL), Community Access, in-home and individualised disability supports across Central Queensland.

Established in 2021, ATCQ is committed to providing safe, high-quality and person-centred supports that promote choice, independence, dignity and meaningful participation.

As our organisation continues to grow, we are strengthening our senior management structure and are seeking an experienced HR & Operations Manager to lead our people and workforce functions and contribute to the broader operational leadership of the organisation.

About the role

Reporting directly to the Directors, the HR & Operations Manager will form part of ATCQ's senior operational leadership team, working collaboratively alongside the Service Delivery Manager.

While the Service Delivery Manager maintains primary responsibility for participant service delivery, the HR & Operations Manager will provide leadership across human resources, people and culture, recruitment, workforce planning, onboarding, training and workforce compliance, while contributing to broader organisational operations and continuous improvement.

This is a senior, hands-on management position requiring a strong balance of strategic thinking and practical delivery.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the HR function and establish effective systems and processes that support our employees, managers and continued organisational growth.

You will be supported by ATCQ's management and administration team and will work closely with our external workplace relations and HR advisory provider, Peninsula (Employsure), where specialist advice and support are required.

Key responsibilities

Human Resources & People and Culture

• Lead the day-to-day HR and People & Culture function across the organisation.

• Provide timely and practical HR advice to managers and employees.

• Manage employee relations matters, including performance, conduct, grievances, attendance and workplace concerns.

• Coordinate performance management and disciplinary processes in consultation with management and Peninsula where appropriate.

• Manage probationary and employee review processes.

• Support managers to address workforce and performance issues consistently and appropriately.

• Maintain employment contracts, position documentation and HR records.

• Support the appropriate interpretation and application of the SCHADS Award, National Employment Standards and employment conditions.

• Develop and maintain effective HR policies, procedures and systems.

• Promote a professional, accountable and positive workplace culture.

• Identify workforce trends, risks and opportunities and provide recommendations to senior management and the Directors.

Recruitment & Workforce Planning

• Manage end-to-end recruitment across frontline, operational and management positions.

• Develop proactive recruitment strategies and sustainable candidate pipelines.

• Coordinate advertising, shortlisting, interviews, reference checks and pre-employment requirements.

• Prepare and coordinate employment offers and onboarding requirements.

• Work closely with Service Delivery and Operations to forecast workforce requirements.

• Monitor staffing capacity, employee availability, skills and competency requirements.

• Support workforce retention initiatives and identify emerging workforce risks.

• Ensure recruitment activity aligns with participant needs and operational demand.

Training, Onboarding & Workforce Compliance

• Lead and coordinate employee induction and onboarding.

• Maintain oversight of mandatory employee training and compliance requirements.

• Maintain accurate training matrices, qualification records and expiry monitoring.

• Coordinate internal and external training requirements.

• Coordinate participant-specific training and competency requirements with Service Delivery.

• Identify workforce capability and development gaps.

• Support managers with probation, competency and employee-development processes.

• Ensure employees are appropriately screened, trained and prepared for their allocated responsibilities.

• Develop structured workforce development and leadership pathways as the organisation grows.

Operational Leadership

As part of ATCQ's senior operational leadership team, you will work collaboratively with the Service Delivery Manager and Operations, Client & Workforce Manager to:

• Establish and monitor organisational priorities.

• Strengthen management accountability and operational performance.

• Support workforce capacity and service-readiness planning.

• Address workforce and rostering pressures.

• Identify operational risks and ensure appropriate action and escalation.

• Support organisational change and implementation of improved systems and processes.

• Contribute to management meetings, planning and organisational decision-making.

• Provide appropriate reporting and recommendations to the Directors.

The role will also provide direction and oversight to the Operations, Client & Workforce Manager in relation to delegated HR, recruitment, workforce, training and operational activities.
