The Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section (RFDSSE) is an organisation that requires little
introduction.
As we fly towards our 100-year anniversary, our name is cemented
in Australian history as a trusted healthcare provider to the rural and remote communities
we serve.
RFDSSE is a mid-sized organisation with 450+ employees, contractors
and volunteers and 60 leaders, combining health, aviation and corporate industries.
Like many teams
across RFDSSE, the People Team has grown from humble beginnings.
What started
with a single personnel team member and a filing cabinet has evolved into a
team of nine (9) highly valued HR professionals, each bringing unique skills
and expertise to support our most valuable asset - our people.
We're a team
that celebrate the individual and team wins, collaborate together and hold each
other accountable.
While our organisation continues to grow and evolve,
so does the People Team and we have recently created a stand-alone Talent Acquisition
function, to do the recruitment heavy lifting.
These responsibilities previously
sat in the People Partner role – and with this change, we'll be able to focus on
the proactive business priorities that always seem to slip to the bottom of the
list.
This means we're now seeking an experienced
People Partner to join our team to make a meaningful impact on our people,
support our leaders and help shape the future of RFDSSE.
Here's a snip of what you will part of: 90
Years of RFDSSE!
What you will be doing:
Partner with leaders to
identify and deliver workforce planning solutions that meet the current and
future needs of their teams.
Provide advice on industrial
and employment matters, including five RFDSSE Enterprise Agreements, several Modern
Awards and individual employment contracts.
Provide tailored coaching,
guidance and support to both recent and experienced leaders, recognising that
every people-related challenge requires a unique approach.
Lead and contribute to
business improvement initiatives and project portfolios aligned with
organisational priorities, your professional interests and development goals.
Projects in the Partner
portfolio include:
Supporting our
Medical Practitioners EA negotiations
Developing our EVP
Psychosocial
initiatives

This
is a rare opportunity to use your People expertise for a greater purpose,
supporting regional and remote communities.
It's a role for someone who enjoys
working closely with people and leaders, solving real-world challenges, and
making a tangible difference beyond the numbers.
About you:
You have experience
working within a purpose-driven organisation, or a genuine passion for
contributing to one.
You understand the importance of balancing support of both
our people and the communities we serve.
You can consistently
demonstrate our organisational values of Care, Reliability, Trust and Safety

contributing positively to the success of RFDSSE.
You are proactive,
collaborative and solutions-focused, building trusted relationships and
supporting positive people outcomes across the organisation.
You will be working remotely,
away from your manager, team members and stakeholders and will need the ability
to build and manage these relationships remotely and be comfortable and confident
working without day-to-day team contact and connection.
About your
experience:
You bring relevant 5+
years experience working within a People function.




While we don't expect our
next People Partner to be an expert in every aspect of HR, we are looking for
someone who is curious, adaptable and committed to continuously developing
their capability.
You have experience
supporting organisational compliance requirements, ideally within a complex or
multidisciplinary environment.
You have the ability
to interpret and apply employment legislation, Modern Awards and Enterprise

Experience in these areas is highly regarded, however a willingness
to learn and develop your expertise is equally important if you have not had
exposure to a complex IR environment.
