People & Culture Lead
Full Time | Bullsbrook, WA | Travel to Pemberton as required
Berry Sweet is a successful and expanding Western Australian berry producer with operations in Bullsbrook and Pemberton.
As our business and workforce continue to grow, we have also recently been approved as an employer under the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme.
We are seeking an experienced, practical and hands-on
People & Culture Lead
to take responsibility for our day-to-day HR and people functions and help us build the systems and capability required for our next stage of growth.
The Role
Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will work closely with our Workforce Manager, Finance & Payroll team, Farm Managers and supervisors.
This is a broad, hands-on role covering:
Day-to-day HR advice and employee relations
Recruitment, contracts, onboarding and offboarding
Performance reviews and performance management support
Employment compliance, HR policies and procedures
Supporting the establishment and ongoing management of our newly approved PALM Scheme
Working with our existing labour hire partners and monitoring compliance
Employee welfare and accommodation coordination
Payroll support, overtime monitoring and payroll leave cover
Supporting workplace Health & Safety systems and compliance
General office and business administration where required
Continuous improvement of HR and people systems
Initially, you will work closely with our external PALM management provider to develop a thorough understanding of the Scheme,



with the opportunity to progressively take greater internal responsibility for PALM as our workforce grows.
You will also work closely with our Workforce Manager on labour hire, accommodation and employee welfare, allowing operational workforce management and People & Culture to work together effectively.
About You
We are looking for an experienced HR professional who enjoys being close to the operation and working with people at all levels.
You will ideally have:
Strong generalist HR experience
Valuable knowledge of Fair Work, Modern Awards and Australian employment legislation
Experience with recruitment, onboarding and employee relations
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Strong organisation and attention to detail
A practical, proactive and hands-on approach
Current driver's licence and willingness to travel between sites
Experience in payroll, Health & Safety, labour hire, agriculture/horticulture, employee accommodation or the PALM Scheme would be highly regarded but is not essential.
Why Berry Sweet?
This is a newly created role at an exciting time for our business.
You will have the opportunity to shape our People & Culture function, help establish our PALM program and grow the role as Berry Sweet continues to expand.
We offer a competitive salary package based on experience, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to become an important part of the leadership team within a successful and growing WA agricultural business.
If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a varied, hands-on role where you can make a genuine impact, we'd love to hear from you.
