Job Description

About the role

We’re looking for a practical, confident People Operations Lead to provide trusted HR advice and lead a small team. This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable taking complex employee relations matters from initial advice through to resolution, with minimal day-to-day guidance, while building leaders’ capability to manage their teams well.

You’ll balance sound judgement, care for people and commercial realities. Alongside leading the team’s day-to-day work, you’ll contribute across the broader People Operations remit, including remuneration, work health and safety, people systems, reporting and organisational projects.

This is an initial 10-month fixed-term contract.

You will:

- Independently manage complex employee relations cases end-to-end, including disciplinary matters, performance management, grievances and workplace investigations. Identify risk, maintain appropriate documentation and bring in specialist support where the matter requires it.
- Coach and advise leaders on fair, consistent and legally sound employment practices, giving clear recommendations and helping them take ownership of people matters.




- Lead and support a small People Operations team, setting transparent priorities, sharing knowledge and maintaining a responsive, high-quality service.
- Build trusted relationships across the business and provide pragmatic advice that balances employee experience, compliance and operational needs.
- Improve our work health and safety practices by strengthening policies, developing guidance and training, and working with the right stakeholders to close capability or compliance gaps.
- Coordinate remuneration benchmarking and performance review processes, supporting fair, consistent and market-informed decisions.
- Lead and deliver People projects, including WGEA reporting, policy development and process or system optimisation.
- Support the effective use and integration of people systems, with a focus on reliable data and smooth end-to-end processes.
- Take ownership of People Operations work from problem definition through to delivery, keeping stakeholders informed and following through on outcomes.
