? Want to take your HR career somewhere different?

Join Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service (TCHHS) as a Senior HR Business Partner, providing trusted, high-level HR and employment relations advice to leaders across one of the most unique and diverse health services in Queensland.

Based in Cairns, you'll partner with leaders and teams across our organisation to navigate complex people matters, strengthen people management practices and find practical solutions that support both our workforce and the communities we serve. And while Cairns will be your home base, from time to time your work may take you beyond the office and into the incredible communities of the Torres Strait and Cape York.

What you'll be doing

No two days will look quite the same.

You'll provide high-level advice, guidance and support across a broad range of Human Resources, Workplace and Employment Relations matters, with a strong focus on building effective employment practices and people management strategies. You may find yourself:

- partnering with leaders to work through complex or sensitive employee matters
- providing advice relating to performance, discipline, suspension, dismissal, workplace harassment and medical assessment
- interpreting legislation, directives, policies, awards and agreements and translating them into clear, practical advice
- undertaking research and workplace investigations
- preparing confidential reports, correspondence and recommendations
- supporting leaders to confidently manage their staff
- working collaboratively across HR and the broader organisation to find practical, workable solutions
