Employment Type: Temporary Contract
Function: People & Culture / Human Resources
Start: ASAP

We are seeking an experienced People & Culture Coordinator to provide hands-on support to a busy People & Culture team during a period of transition.

This is a practical, operational HR role suited to someone who can quickly understand existing processes, pick up work already in progress and provide reliable support across recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, HR systems and day-to-day employee enquiries.

You will work closely with the People & Culture team and play an important role in maintaining continuity while longer-term resourcing arrangements are being finalised.

Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate recruitment activities including job advertising, candidate review, shortlisting and phone screening.
- Schedule interviews and liaise with candidates and hiring managers.
- Manage recruitment administration, employment documentation, forms and required checks.
- Coordinate recent starter onboarding and induction activities.
- Support employee offboarding, including documentation, system notifications and exit processes.
- Maintain accurate employee information and records within the HRIS.
- Assist with HR reporting, system enquiries and maintaining data integrity.
- Monitor People & Culture inboxes and respond to general employee and manager enquiries.
- Escalate more complex matters appropriately.
- Support documentation of existing HR processes and handover activities.
- Assist with broader People & Culture operational priorities and continuous improvement initiatives.





About You You will ideally bring:

- Previous experience in a People & Culture, HR Coordinator or HR Administration position.
- Demonstrated recruitment administration and coordination experience.
- Experience using ELMO would be highly regarded, although experience with another HRIS and the ability to learn systems quickly will also be considered.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
- Excellent attention to detail when managing employee records and documentation.
- Confident and professional communication skills.
- A helpful, service-focused approach when dealing with employees, managers and candidates.
- The ability to quickly learn established processes and work effectively with limited supervision.
- Sound judgement and a strong understanding of confidentiality when handling employee information.
- A flexible and practical approach to working in an environment where priorities may change quickly.

The Opportunity This role would suit an experienced HR Coordinator who enjoys being hands-on and keeping things moving. You will join a collaborative People & Culture team and provide valuable support across the full employee lifecycle.

The successful candidate will be organised, reliable, adaptable and comfortable stepping into an existing environment and becoming productive quickly.

If you are available for a temporary assignment and have strong HR coordination and recruitment administration experience, we would like to hear from you.
