$165,000 to $180,000 plus super

A great prospect for an experienced workplace relations professional to join a national care provider going through real growth and change. This is a newly created role, so you get to set up the ER and IR function, be the subject matter expert, work alongside like-minded HR professionals, and take the organisation where it needs to go both operationally and strategically.

What you'll do

- This is both operational and strategic- You run the difficult matters yourself, and you set the workplace relations strategy the organisation runs on.
- Lead the Fair Work matters, active disputes and complex investigations. There is a live pipeline waiting for you.
- Be the escalation point for the business partners and operational leaders, the person they come to when something is genuinely difficult.




- Build the standardised ER framework across every service line. An external firm is creating a legally cleared template library now, so you are not starting from a blank page.
- Coach operational managers, BP's and the executive on sound employment practice.

What you'll bring

- A career built in employee and industrial relations. You are a SME in WPR's.
- Hands-on Fair Work Commission experience, including conciliations and complex workplace investigations you have run yourself.
- Commercial judgement. You know what the correct process is, and when the situation calls for a different answer.
- The confidence to challenge a leadership team, and the approachability that gets a frontline manager picking up the phone.
- Legal qualifications are well regarded.
