Job description

At Hume Community Housing, our purpose is bigger than housing. We work to create and support sustainable and inclusive communities that thrive.

And right now, there’s plenty happening internally too.

We’re looking for an energetic and practical Learning & Development Advisor to join our People & Culture team for a 12-month parental leave contract, starting in February 2027.

This isn’t an L&D role where you’ll spend all your time simply coordinating courses. You’ll have the opportunity to work across the organisation, partner with leaders and turn learning needs into practical initiatives that make a real difference to our people.

What you'll get your hands on

You'll play a key role in delivering Hume's learning and capability agenda, including:

• Bringing our Learning Matrix to life and working with leaders to identify capability and development needs
• Researching and coordinating learning solutions that are practical, engaging and relevant
• Developing and managing our annual training calendar and budget
• Keeping our mandatory and professional development training on track
• Making the most of our LMS to create a better employee learning experience
• Continuing to evolve Hume's onboarding program
• Supporting career pathways and employee development
• Managing external training partners and making sure we're getting quality outcomes and value
• Supporting key people initiatives including reward and recognition, our Employee Opinion Survey and cultural change activities

Who we're looking for

You'll probably love this role if you're someone who enjoys making things happen.

You're organized, comfortable juggling different projects and stakeholders, and you're equally happy planning behind the scenes as you are facilitating a session in front of a group.

We want a strong coordinator. This could be someone with coordination experience who is looking to develop into an advisory role.

We're looking for someone with:

• Previous experience working within Learning & Development, preferably within the community services sector
• Confidence facilitating training programs, both face-to-face and virtual
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to prioritise competing demands
• Proficiency using a Learning Management System (LMS); Go1 experience is desirable
• A collaborative approach and confidence working with internal and external stakeholders
• Even better if you have a tertiary qualification in HR or L&D, a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

Why Hume?

We want people to enjoy working here, have flexibility in how they work and have opportunities to develop.

Flexible working Enjoy generous work from home arrangements that give you the flexibility to balance work and life.

Make your salary go further Access to salary packaging, which can reduce your taxable income and increase your take home pay, as well as novated leasing options.

A little extra time to recharge Employees receive three gifted leave days over the Christmas/New Year period, and access to two Wellbeing Days per year.

Wellbeing support Employees have access to free, private and confidential counselling through Hume's Employee Assistance Programs, including after-hours support.

Keep growing You'll be joining an organisation that's putting real focus behind learning, leadership, career development and future capability, not just talking about it.

And we're proud of the work we're doing.

Hume was recently recognised with the Outstanding Community Organisation Award at the Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence (WSABE) and was also named Business of the Year. One of our managers was also recognised with the Outstanding Business Leader Award at the Hunter Business Awards.

Those awards reflect what matters most to us: having great people doing meaningful work and delivering positive outcomes for customers and communities.

If you're passionate about helping people grow, enjoy turning ideas into action and want an L&D role where you'll have plenty of variety and influence, we'd love to hear from you.

Hume Community Housing is committed to a workplace where our team members prosper, and diversity and inclusion are a valued part of our vibrant and connected working community.
