About the Role
Looking for an experienced Employee Relations Lead to manage complex workplace matters where conduct, wellbeing, psychosocial safety and capacity for work overlap. It’s a hands-on role focused on navigating difficult, high-impact situations with sound judgement, pragmatism and resilience.
You’ll work closely with leaders, People Partners to manage sensitive matters fairly, consistently and in line with employment legislation and organisational policy.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead complex employee relations matters end-to-end, including:
- Workplace grievances, misconduct and disciplinary matters
- Cases involving illness, injury or reduced capacity for work
- Workplace investigations, including interviews, evidence gathering and findings
- Supporting leaders through difficult people situations with practical coaching and guidance
- Reviewing medical and functional capacity information to support employment decision-making
- Supporting consistent governance, documentation and risk management practices
About You
We’re less focused on industry background and more interested in the type of environments you’ve operated in. You may come from healthcare, frontline operations, logistics, retail, government, contact centres or other operationally complex environments where psychosocial safety, employee wellbeing and workforce risk are part of day-to-day reality.
You’ll bring:
- Strong experience managing complex ER matters end-to-end
- Experience leading investigations and managing sensitive workplace situations
- Sound understanding of employment law, workplace legislation and HR/ER frameworks
- Strong judgement and emotional intelligence
- The ability to influence leaders and operate calmly under pressure
- A practical, balanced approach — not overly theoretical or black-and-white
This is an opportunity to work inside one of Australia’s most operationally complex and systemically important industries.
If you’re someone who thrives in complexity, can navigate difficult situations with maturity and pragmatism, and wants to do meaningful work beyond traditional ER, we’d love to hear from you.
