With a strong foundation and clear structure, the team is focused on continuous improvement and delivering service excellence, fostering an environment where collaboration and innovation thrive.

The Opportunity

The Ideal Person

You are a detail-oriented, forward-thinking HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, operational environment.

You take pride in delivering high-quality services, handle sensitive information with discretion, and communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels.

You are proactive, adaptable, and enjoy working both independently and collaboratively. Ideally, you have experience across recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and policy interpretation, with a strong interest in continuous learning and supporting others’ development.

Tertiary qualifications in HR or a related field and familiarity with government frameworks are highly regarded but not essential.
