At Bupa, purpose meets possible. Join us and help shape a future where healthcare is more connected, more personal and more human.

We’re a global healthcare leader trusted by millions and committed to helping people to live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. Healthcare is changing, and so are we. We’re investing in more clinics, better systems and smarter, more connected ways to help our customers. As we continue to expand our services and invest in innovation, you’ll help create a healthcare system that meets people where they are, responds to what they need and leaves them better than before.

Here, your work has purpose, your voice matters and your future is full of possibility. Just imagine the impact you could make.

The purpose of this role:

As a Senior Legal Adviser - Employment and Litigation (12-month fixed-term contract), you will play a key role in providing trusted legal advice across Bupa's APAC business. Working within a broad and complex legal environment, you'll partner with leaders and stakeholders to advise on employment law, industrial relations, workplace health and safety, litigation and regulatory matters, helping the business navigate legal risk and meet its obligations.

This is a varied and high-impact role where you'll provide practical, solutions-focused advice on workplace and employment matters, manage disputes and litigation, and support regulatory compliance across a diverse range of businesses. Working closely with senior legal leaders, you'll contribute to the delivery of high-quality legal support, engage with external counsel where required, and advise stakeholders on complex and sensitive matters across the APAC region.

What you’ll need to make it possible

  • Completed a degree in law and hold a current practising certificate.
  • Experience from private practise/in-house working in employment/workplace law and dispute resolution.
  • Advocacy experience is desirable (at State and Federal level - particularly in the Fair Work Commission).
  • Experience advising on the interpretation and application of enterprise agreements, modern awards and other industrial instruments.
  • Strong stakeholder management, influencing and relationship-building skills.
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills.
  • Post-graduate, or other specialist legal qualifications would be desirable

Why you’ll love it?

We support our people to be the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves. From providing initiatives that develop careers to looking after our people’s health, wellbeing and futures. Enjoy the flexibility of hybrid working, with a mix of time in the office and at home, while having plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and take your experience to the next level.

If this sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s shape the future of healthcare, together.

Here at Bupa your wellbeing, identity, and personal story are respected and valued. We are committed to building diverse teams that are reflective of the communities we serve and fostering a fair and inclusive workplace free from discrimination, bullying and harassment. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds and experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, veterans, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ applicants and are dedicated to removing barriers to participation.
