About the Role
Are you ready to do more than just “deliver HR”? At the City of Wanneroo, we’re building a future-focused P and C team that partners with leaders, challenges old ways of working, and shapes a thriving, inclusive culture for a growing community.

We’re looking for a confident and resilient People and Culture Business Partner – someone who can build trust with leaders, influence decisions, and deliver pragmatic, people-first solutions.

• Strong ER/IR knowledge and confidence with investigations, disputes, and compliance.
• Experience driving organisational change and embedding cultural initiatives.
• Strategic thinking with the ability to coach, challenge, and influence.
• HR qualification or equivalent experience, and a love for getting things done.

So… why join the City of Wanneroo?

• Choose between a 9 day fortnight, 19 day month or flexi time arrangement

• Flex your week with a regular WFH day – we value focus as much as connection
