Help us build the people systems and culture for our next stage of growth.
Schulz Organic Dairy is a vertically integrated, family-owned business operating from farm to table, producing award-winning organic dairy products and supplying restaurants and independent retailers across Victoria.
With operations across South-West Victoria and Melbourne, and a number of major projects ahead of us, we are looking for an experienced People & Culture Advisor to help strengthen the systems, capability and culture that support our team.
This is a newly developing role with genuine ownership.
You won't simply be maintaining an existing HR function.
You'll work closely with our managers to improve how we recruit, onboard, train, develop and support our people, while ensuring the fundamentals of employment compliance and people governance are done well.
The role is part-time and flexible, with the ability to work across our Timboon and Melbourne locations.
What you'll be doing
You'll work closely with department managers and the leadership team across the full employee lifecycle, including:
Coordinating recruitment with department managers
Improving and managing our onboarding process
Preparing employment contracts, letters and employee documentation
Maintaining accurate and confidential employee records
Coordinating probation and performance review cycles
Maintaining training compliance across the business
Working with managers to identify skills gaps and development priorities
Supporting skills matrices, cross-training and succession planning
Providing practical guidance to managers on employee relations and people matters
Supporting employment compliance, policies and people governance
Helping managers address performance and conduct issues appropriately
Identifying opportunities to improve our people systems and processes
Supporting initiatives that build a high-performing, accountable and values-led culture
What we're looking for




We're looking for someone who enjoys both getting things done and making things better.
More importantly, you'll bring:
Strong practical HR and people administration experience
Confidence working directly with managers and department leaders
Sound knowledge of employment practices and workplace compliance across multiple industrial awards
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Strong organisation and attention to detail
The ability to build trusted relationships across different parts of a business
Confidence to respectfully challenge managers when required
The ability to move between operational detail and broader business priorities
A practical, solutions-focused mindset
Discretion and sound judgement when dealing with confidential matters
A willingness to travel between our South-West Victoria and Melbourne operations when required
Why this role is different
This isn't a large corporate HR department where you'll own one small part of the employee lifecycle.
You'll have visibility across the whole business and the opportunity to influence how our people function develops.
You'll work across farming, food manufacturing, distribution, sales and administration, giving you exposure to a diverse range of people, roles and operational environments.
Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to build systems that genuinely make things easier for our managers and better for our employees.
Our values
How we work matters just as much as what we achieve.
Our values are:
We're looking for someone who naturally works in a similar way.
