This is more than a traditional HR leadership role. We are looking for an established HR leader who can build a highly capable People Partnering function, elevate strategic thinking and create strong partnerships that enable leaders to achieve exceptional business and people outcomes.

You will

• Lead and develop the People Partnering and People Services teams, building capability, accountability and a high-performance culture.
• Partner with senior leaders to develop and deliver workforce, organisational design and people plans aligned to strategic and operational priorities.

You will bring:

• Significant experience partnering with Executive and Senior Leadership teams to deliver strategic people and workforce outcomes.
• Proven success leading and developing high-performing People Partnering teams, with a strong focus on coaching, capability building and empowering others to deliver outcomes.
• Demonstrated experience leading large-scale organisational change, workforce transformation and organisational design initiatives.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships and constructively challenge senior leaders.
• Extensive experience managing complex employee relations matters and organisational risk, with a focus on early intervention and proactive risk management.
• Strong commercial and analytical capability, using workforce data and insights to identify trends, risks and opportunities and inform strategic decision-making.
• Energy, resilience and drive, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced and evolving environment.

Your Qualifications

• Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Business or a related discipline, or equivalent experience. (Post Graduate Qualifications are highly regarded).
• Experience within aged care, healthcare, community services or another large, complex service-based environment will be highly regarded.
• Knowledge of the SCHADS Award and contemporary employment legislation is desirable.

In addition to a salary of approximately $142,000 base + super, you'll enjoy:

• The opportunity to shape and elevate the People Partnering function during an exciting period of organisational transformation.
• A strategic leadership role with significant influence across the organisation.
• A 100% work-from-home role.
