As we continue to grow, we're looking for an energetic and commercially minded People & Culture Business Partner to help bring our people strategy to life.

We are the Home of Professional Hair.

You'll have the opportunity to influence, coach and challenge leaders, providing practical and commercially focused P&C; advice while helping create an engaging, high-performing and rewarding workplace.

You'll work with a good level of autonomy and will play an active role in delivering our P&C; strategy and broader business priorities.

- Staying ahead of changes to employment and WHS legislation and translating these into practical advice for the business.
- Supporting effective P&C; communications and initiatives that strengthen our culture and employee experience.

You'll ideally have
