Some contract roles are about filling a gap.
Others are about joining a team you'd genuinely want to work with.We're partnering with a well-established Brisbane organisation seeking an experienced HR Advisor to join their team on an eight‐month maternity leave contract.
This is a role that offers variety, meaningful work and the opportunity to contribute across a range of people initiatives, projects and operational HR activities.
More importantly, it's an opportunity to join a team that values collaboration, strong relationships and supporting one another to deliver great outcomes.
What stood out to us wasn't the position description.
It was the culture.
The team are looking for someone who enjoys partnering with people, takes a practical approach to problem solving and understands that building trust and influencing change often comes down to patience, credibility and strong relationships.

Recruitment and onboarding
Payroll preparation and coordination
Performance review and KPI processes

with scope to build on your existing strengths and gain exposure to new areas of HR.

Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship‐building skills
