Not all ER roles are created equal!

Some are policy-heavy. Some are process-heavy. Some spend more time talking about culture than helping to shape it. This isn't one of those roles. If you are currently an ER Specialist or an HRBP with extensive ER experience, then this is the role for you!

I'm Chris Gleadhill, Head of Talent at Vertaview Group, and recently I sat down with Taegan, our Employment Relations Advisor, to ask what she enjoys most about working in ER here. Her answers were easy:

"No two days are the same."

"I get to collaborate with people who genuinely care about the ER landscape."

"I help create safeguarding measures that protect our customers, people and stakeholders."

That pretty much sums up what makes this role special.

While Taegan gave me a great insight into what it's like to work in ER at Vertaview, I also wanted to hear from someone who works alongside this role every day.

So I asked Bonnie, one of our HR Business Partners, what she values most in a high-performing ER Specialist and how this role helps her support our leaders and teams.

Her response?

"The best thing about having a strong ER Specialist is knowing you've got someone beside you who can navigate the most complex situations with confidence. They help us make better decisions, support our leaders, and ensure we're doing the right thing for our people."

What makes this role different is the level of trust and influence you'll have from day one.

This isn't a role where you'll sit on the sidelines interpreting policy after decisions have already been made. You'll be at the table, partnering with leaders through complex workplace matters,



helping navigate risk, shaping outcomes and ensuring we continue to build a fair, compliant and people-focused organisation.

As our full-time, permanent Employment Relations Specialist based in Brisbane, you'll lead complex investigations, provide expert advice on challenging employee and industrial relations matters, and influence decisions that have a genuine impact across the organisation.

You'll report to an industry-leading Workplace Relations Manager (some would argue one of the best in the business), lead and mentor a dedicated Employment Relations Advisor, and play a key role in strengthening employment relations capability across Vertaview Group.

Why You'll Love This Role

- Lead complex, high-impact workplace matters where your expertise genuinely influences outcomes.
- Partner with leaders who value your advice and involve you in significant people decisions.
- Work alongside an experienced and passionate ER team that genuinely loves what they do and supports one another to deliver great outcomes.
- Learn from an exceptional Workplace Relations leader while mentoring and developing a dedicated ER Advisor.
- Make a real difference in a purpose-driven organisation committed to supporting vulnerable Australians.
- Access up to $18,550 in tax-free salary packaging benefits.
