What You’ll Bring

Experience in employment law, human resources, employee relations, or healthcare practice (e.g. paramedicine or nursing).

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Strong administrative and organisational abilities.

Capacity to manage complex, sensitive matters with empathy and professionalism.

Sharp but pragmatic problem-solving skills and sound judgement.

A proactive, collaborative, and supportive approach to work.
