HR Manager

HR Manager, Lithgow NSW | Westfund Health Insurance (Hybrid)

About the opportunity

After ten years building Westfund's People & Culture function, the current Human Resources Manager is retiring at the end of the year. Civitas Talent has been retained to find their successor.

You’ll lead HR operations for around 240 people across 12 locations in Current South Wales and Queensland, covering employee relations, industrial relations, contracts, payroll and recruitment. You report to Bill Sheffield, Chief People Officer, and lead a team of five: Payroll Manager, Payroll Officer, Recruitment Lead, People & Culture Coordinator and Human Resources Coordinator.

This is a hands‑on leadership role. You’ll have a capable team to delegate to, and you’ll also own matters yourself from first conversation through to resolution.



You’ll contribute to People & Culture strategy with the CPO, but most of the job is practical: sound advice, well‑run processes and being there for leaders and employees when it counts.
