Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

Working as part of a team of HR professionals (Senior People Advisors, People Advisors and People Coordinators, supported by a Manager), you'll provide advice, guidance and support to our business leaders across a wide range of HR issues and requests, but a core focus of the role is around employment relationship matters.

• A mature outlook and some gravitas when it comes to HR and ER issues and the ability to find win / win solutions  
• Enjoy working in fast paced, busy and complex environments
• Good working knowledge of HR policies, processes and practice

Most importantly you'll possess a keen interest in ER matters and want to get your teeth stuck in and support the business and our teams to good resolutions.
