People & Culture Business Partner

The Opportunity

We are seeking a dynamic and approachable People & Culture Business Partner to service our teams across Launceston and North West Tasmania. This role may also be offered as two part-time positions, one based in Launceston and one on the North West Coast, depending on candidate circumstances.

This is an exciting 12 month opportunity to become a trusted advisor to leaders, helping shape a positive, engaged and high-performing workplace where our people can thrive.

As a key member of the People & Culture team, you will partner with managers across a diverse portfolio, providing practical advice and support across the full employee lifecycle. From coaching leaders and managing complex employee relations matters to conducting workplace investigations, supporting organisational change and ensuring compliance with employment legislation, no two days are the same!

This role is about far more than providing HR advice. You will have the opportunity to influence how we support our people, contribute to meaningful organisational initiatives and help drive continuous improvement across our People & Culture practices. If you enjoy building strong relationships, solving complex challenges and making a genuine impact, we would love to hear from you.

If you're looking to bring both genuine care and commercial rigour to the way you support people, and to authentically embody a values-driven culture in everything you do, we would love to receive your application
