About the Role

We are seeking an experienced People and Culture Business Partner, to provide support to our Residential Aged Care sites.

Reporting to the People & Culture Operations Manager, this role provides expert advice, support and guidance across the full employee lifecycle, partnering closely with leaders and employees on a broad range of People and Culture matters.

This role has a significant travel requirement, with regular onsite presence across Residential Aged Care homes throughout Australia to support consultations, workforce change activity and operational People and Culture support.

Every day will be different, and that’s the exciting part of this role. You will work closely with stakeholders at all levels, promoting Respect’s values and supporting leaders to build engaged, capable and high-performing teams.

A key focus of this role will be leading and supporting workforce consultations (both group and individual), including supporting rostering reviews, restructuring processes, and organisational change activity. You will also play a critical role in managing and supporting union engagement and consultation processes, ensuring compliance, fairness and positive stakeholder outcomes.

• Employee experience initiatives
• Workplace health and safety and injury management
• Executive Assistant (EA) level support to senior leaders where required, including coordination, documentation, and operational follow-through

About You

• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in a generalist People and Culture or HR role
• Strong Executive Assistant (EA) capability, with experience supporting senior leaders in complex environments
• Strong knowledge of contemporary People and Culture practices including employee relations, performance management, change management, WHS and injury management

• Highly developed communication, consultation and report-writing skills
• Strong problem-solving ability with sound judgement in complex situations
• Excellent organisational skills with high attention to detail
• Ability to work autonomously, travel frequently, and manage competing priorities under pressure
