🚀 Want to take your HR career somewhere different?

Join Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service (TCHHS) as a Senior HR Business Partner, providing trusted, high-level HR and employment relations advice to leaders across one of the most unique and diverse health services in Queensland.

Based in Cairns, you'll partner with leaders and teams across our organisation to navigate complex people matters, strengthen people management practices and find practical solutions that support both our workforce and the communities we serve.
