You will provide expert advice on complex employee relations matters and manage risk through sound judgement and consultation with legal and occupational health specialists.
You will lead HR support for organisational change, such as restructures and redeployment, ensuring processes are effective and aligned with best practice. Working strategically, you will contribute to workforce planning and business discussions, developing HR solutions that drive engagement, performance and organisational success.
Building strong, trusted relationships will be key, as you coach and support managers to develop their leadership capability and promote a positive, inclusive culture. You will also review and develop HR policies, ensuring compliance with legislation and alignment with the organisation's goals.
