About the Opportunity

Our client is an organisation that supports independence, choice and peace of mind through thoughtfully designed living environments. Care and warmth shines through everything they do.

Your day-to-day responsibilities in this role will include:
  • Supporting stakeholders in a fast-paced environment across anything and everything relating to HR. Strong business partnering is key!
  • Managing end to end Employee Relations with a focus on coaching and empowering people leaders.
  • Overcoming a legacy mindset of “this is how we’ve always done it...” and turn it into “ this is why we should do it this way!”
  • Liaising with unions with the intention to foster a genuine partnership.
  • Supporting project related changed processes and change management.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for a Senior People Business Partner who is looking for an independent role where no day will look the same. 

What You’ll Bring
  • Your background will include having operated in standalone P&C roles where you’ve had to operate independently. 
  • The ability to be onsite in the office from 8 am until your workday ends is key (apart from the two WFH days). This is not a role where you can catch up on work late at night – visibility and supporting the business “live” is key.
  • Your personality is outgoing, friendly and with a strong commercial acumen where you have a reasonable understanding of P&L reports.
  • Ideally, you’ll come from a background where you’ve navigated a diverse workforce and understand the sensitivity required to support cultural diversity.
  • What’s on Offer [Key Benefits]
  • In the words of the current incumbent of this role, it’s simply a “fabulous role!” with a huge development opportunity.
  • If you prefer, you will have the option of two WFH days with Thursday being a mandatory office day.
  • No day will ever look the same and you’ll be given the autonomy to operate independently with the guidance of the GM P&C.
