Your new company
Our client is one of Australia's most established member-based organisations, representing professionals across New South Wales. With a couple of hundred employees based in Surry Hills, just a short walk from Central Station, the organisation operates in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment with a strong union culture and a passionate, long-tenured workforce.
Your new role
Our client is looking for an experienced HR generalist to join the HR team on a contract basis, working alongside the HR Manager who is returning from parental leave on a part-time basis.
This is a hands-on, autonomous generalist role supporting approximately 150 staff across the full HR lifecycle. You'll operate independently on days when the HR Manager is not in the office, with one crossover day each week for collaboration and handover - supported by an HR Assistant.
If you're an experienced HR professional who thrives within a team and enjoys the variety and ownership that comes with a true generalist remit, this one's for you.
HR Advisory & Business Partnering- Providing high-level HR advice and consultancy to staff and management - coaching, support, and practical problem-solving
Performance Management- Supporting the design and rollout of a new performance management framework
Employee & Industrial Relations- Providing guidance on employee relations grievances and case management
Workers' Compensation & WHS- Managing and monitoring WHS, injury management, and workers' compensation claims
Recruitment, Onboarding & HR Operations- Support and manage recruitment of new hires and onboarding where required.
What you'll need to succeed
You're a confident, resilient, and self-sufficient HR professional who enjoys rolling up your sleeves. You bring genuine warmth and a collaborative approach, but you're equally comfortable having direct conversations and holding your ground with challenging stakeholders.
Solid generalist HR experience across the full employee lifecycle - ideally at HRBP or HR Manager level
Demonstrated experience in performance management and workers' compensation
Confidence navigating enterprise agreements and working in a unionised or IR-heavy environment
The ability to work independently and make sound decisions without daily supervision
A calm, assured communication style - diplomatic under pressure and not easily rattled
A genuine team-player mentality with strong interpersonal skills
Desirable:
Previous experience in a not-for-profit, membership-based, or government environment
Experience interpreting and applying enterprise agreement provisions
What you'll get in return- Work with one of NSW's most recognised member-based organisations.
- Genuine partnership model - collaborate closely with the HR Manager in a supportive job-share arrangement
- Real impact - help shape and roll out a new performance management framework
- 3 days a week, with strong potential for the contract to extend
