People & Capability Business Partner

Reporting to the Head of People and Culture, you’ll partner with leaders across a large and geographically dispersed frontline workforce.

No two days will look quite the same. You might be coaching a leader through a difficult performance matter, managing an investigation, looking at workforce data and trends, supporting organisational change, working through an injury management matter or leading a people project that cuts across the organisation.

You’ll also play an important role in helping us continue to improve the way we work.

Your role will include:

partnering with operational and senior leaders on people priorities, workforce challenges and organisational change

managing complex employee and industrial relations matters, including investigations, grievances, performance and disciplinary processes

coaching leaders to confidently manage people matters and build their own capability

contributing to workforce planning, organisational design and talent initiatives

supporting workers compensation, injury management and return-to-work activities

using workforce data and insights to identify issues and recommend practical actions

leading and contributing to people projects and continuous improvement initiatives

helping create a consistent and positive employee experience across the employee lifecycle.

You’re likely to be an experienced HR practitioner who is comfortable working in a busy operational environment.

You know your way around Australian employment legislation and employee relations, but you also understand that good HR isn’t just about knowing the rules. You can listen, ask the right questions, exercise judgement and work with leaders to find solutions that make sense for the organisation and its people.

You’ll bring:

experience in a P&C Business Partner or HR Manager role

strong hands-on employee relations experience, including complex performance, conduct, grievance and investigation matters

sound knowledge of Australian employment legislation, the National Employment Standards and industrial instruments

experience working with operational leaders and frontline workforces

confidence building relationships with stakeholders at different levels of an organisation

the ability to balance employee experience, commercial considerations, risk and compliance

experience contributing to change, workforce or broader people projects

practical, curious and solutions-focused approach.

Experience with the SCHADS Award, workers compensation or the disability sector would be useful, but it’s not essential .

If you’ve built your HR career in healthcare, aged care, retail, hospitality, logistics or another large frontline environment, we’d also like to hear from you.

At CareChoice, our work makes a real difference in people’s lives.

We support people with disability to live as independently as possible and to have choice and control over their lives. Behind that work is a large team of people, and our People & Culture team plays an important role in helping them do their best work.

You’ll join a team where you can make a genuine contribution, work on interesting and varied people challenges and have the opportunity to influence how we continue to grow and improve.

We work within a hybrid working model, in our Mulgrave Head Office 2 days a week, and travel to site from time to time.

If you enjoy the combination of people, problem-solving and getting things done , we’d love to hear from you.
