Job description

Love people, thrive on organisation and keen to kick-start your HR career?

If you’re looking to build your HR skills, gain hands-on experience and learn from experienced HR professionals who are passionate about what they do, this could be your next move!

We’re looking for a part-time People & Culture Administrator to join our friendly and collaborative team at Carter Newell’s national head office in Brisbane CBD through to June 2027.

Whether you’re studying HR, starting your career or looking to make the move from administration into People & Culture, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s the opportunity?

You’ll work alongside experienced HR professionals and job-share with our existing People & Culture Administrator, working closely together to keep our people processes running smoothly.

With plenty of variety and opportunities to learn, you’ll be:

• Making great first impressions – supporting recruitment, onboarding and offboarding.
• Helping our people grow – coordinating learning and development, graduate programs and training.
• Keeping things on track – maintaining employee records, HR systems, reporting and compliance.
• Supporting our people – assisting with performance reviews, employee enquiries and everyday HR activities.
• Bringing our culture to life – supporting wellbeing, diversity and inclusion initiatives.
• Making things better – finding smarter ways to improve processes and workflows.

We’re not looking for someone who knows everything about HR. We’re looking for someone who’s curious, enthusiastic and ready to learn!

You’ll bring:

• Strong organisational skills and a keen eye for detail.
• A proactive attitude and willingness to jump in and get things done.
• Great communication skills and a genuine love of working with people.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate, coordinate and share responsibilities seamlessly with your job-share partner.
• Confidence with technology and learning new systems.
• Apply discretion and professionalism.

Some administration or HR experience? Studying towards an HR qualification? Even better!

We’re a professional team who take our work seriously, but we like to have fun along the way!

• Learning from experienced HR professionals who genuinely want to see you succeed.
• Flexibility that supports work-life balance.
• 20 weeks’ paid gender-neutral parental leave, study assistance and additional leave policies.
• A focus on wellbeing, including an annual wellbeing allowance and mental health support.
• A culture of belonging, with dedicated diversity and inclusion committees.
• Access to innovative technology, including internal AI software.

Benefits are subject to applicable policies and eligibility requirements.
