Human Resources Advisor

Permanent

Full-time (average of 38 hours per week) preferred

• Motivated to deliver outstanding advice and support?
• Looking for the opportunity to apply your HR skills in a local government environment?
• Team player?

Did you say ‘YES’ to all of the above?   

As the team supporting one of Rockingham’s largest employers, we are looking for an HR professional to apply and grow their HR expertise. 

You will be pivotal in supporting and enhancing the end-to-end employee experience, from attracting our new employees into the organisation to waving them goodbye, knowing they’ll reflect positively on their employment and become great advocates for the next generation of City employees. 

We can offer you the opportunity to apply your knowledge of the legislative and industrial instruments that underpin our employment relationships on a daily basis, and across a diverse workforce.  We’ll even throw in the occasional curly question (we have lots of them after becoming part of the State IR system).  You will draw on your knowledge and experience to provide accurate and timely advice to the organisation, ensuring we continue to meet (perhaps even exceed) compliance and legislative requirements.  Applying your strong interpersonal and communication skills, you’ll engage with and support employees at all levels within the City. 

Strong experience in HR (either generalist or a specific discipline), supported with a formal qualification in an HR-related discipline, and an unrestricted ‘C’ class driver’s licence are essential for this role.

How will we know you’re the outstanding HR Advisor we’re looking for?  In your online application, you will tell us about your:

• Knowledge of recruitment, selection, employee-relations with an interest in IR-related legislation, regulations, practices, procedures and standards.
• Experience in applying these across a large and diverse workforce
• Experience in the development and implementation of HR policies, strategies and procedures

We are offering a gross salary of $82,627 – $87,497 per annum, dependant on skills and experience. But this job is so much more than the money.   

• You’ll also receive 11.5% superannuation, and be able to co-contribute up to 5% - that’s 21.5% in total!
• We are passionate about the professional development of our employees, and we will support your ongoing learning both on-the-job and through formal study, by providing paid study leave and reimbursement of study fees
• An award-winning health and wellbeing programme, including annual subsidy (reimbursement) for physical activities (e.g. sports club or gym memberships), free flu vaccinations, free skin cancer checks, mental health programs and Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) services
• Generous leave (13 weeks long service leave after 10 years of continuous service, annual, personal/carers, parental, family and domestic violence, compassionate leave)
• We recognise the value of work/life balance with rostered days off (a 19-day month) and two additional paid days of absence per year
• We’re happy to discuss other flexible working arrangements that may suit your lifestyle
• Salary packaging opportunities for motor vehicles, etc.

We are an award winning local government located 40km south of the Perth CBD and we are known as the place where the coast comes to life.  One of the fastest growing local governments in the south metropolitan area, we are responsible for the provision and delivery of high quality services, facilities and events that meet or exceed community expectations.  Providing a safe and healthy workplace for our employees is important to us and we are committed to employing team members who share the City’s Values of Recognition, Ethics, Service, Professional Development, Empowerment, Communication and Teamwork – RESPECT. These Values are incorporated into all aspects of employment at the City.

An information package, including the position description, is available on our website.

Applications are open until 4pm, Friday 26 July 2024. 

This process may be used to fill future similar permanent or fixed-term positions that may become available in the City during the next 12 months.

The City of Rockingham accepts applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds, including First Nations people, people living with disability and people who speak a first language other than English.
