HR Business Partner / Consultant

Some HR roles keep you in one business. This opportunity gives you the chance to become part of many.

We're a people and culture consultancy supporting organisations across Australia, partnering with Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) across a diverse range of industries. From strategic workforce challenges to day-to-day people matters, we provide practical, commercially focused HR solutions that help businesses succeed. Our clients trust us as an extension of their teams because we're responsive, approachable and genuinely invested in helping both their people and businesses thrive.

What makes this role different is the variety. One day you might be helping a leadership team resolve a critical people issue, the next influencing workforce strategy, managing organisational risk, strengthening workplace culture or delivering solutions that improve business performance and employee outcomes.

If you enjoy solving problems, building trusted relationships and working across different businesses, consulting offers a unique opportunity to accelerate your experience and broaden your perspective.

The Role

This is a hands-on salaried consulting role for an experienced HR professional who is highly capable, commercially minded and confident providing advice across a broad range of workplace matters.

Working closely with business owners, leaders and managers, you will become a trusted extension of your clients' teams, helping them navigate challenges, reduce risk and create positive impact for their business.

What you’ll do

• Advise with confidence: Provide practical, commercially focused advice across employee relations, industrial relations, performance, conduct, grievances and workplace complaints.
• Foster client relationships: Build trust quickly, understand each client’s business and become an embedded partner who follows through and delivers.
• Manage varied work: Balance multiple clients, projects and priorities while maintaining quality, responsiveness and momentum.
• Strengthen workplaces: Identify opportunities for improvement and deliver practical people, culture and compliance solutions that create meaningful outcomes for clients.
• Use technology well: Learn systems quickly, remember what you are shown and look for smarter, more efficient ways of working and most importantly be an AI convert.
• Collaborate generously: Share knowledge, ask for input and draw on the expertise of colleagues to achieve the best outcome.

What You Bring

You are an experienced HR advisor or consultant who can quickly understand a business, build credibility and provide clear direction. You bring sound judgement, strong interpersonal awareness and a genuine commitment to the clients you support.

• Results focused: You take ownership, maintain momentum and care about the quality and impact of your work.
• Client invested: You become genuinely interested in each client’s business and are dedicated to helping the client succeed.
• Tech savvy and quick to learn: You pick up systems and processes quickly, retain information and look for opportunities to improve how work gets done.
• Self-aware and curious: You are confident in your expertise, honest when you do not know something and willing to learn or lean on others.
• Open to feedback: You welcome different perspectives and use feedback to strengthen your work.
• Broad perspective: You bring experience across different organisations, industries or workforce environments and value diverse ways of thinking.
