Overview

Join to apply for the People & Culture Project Specialist role at Heritage Lifecare.

Heritage Lifecare is one of New Zealand's leading aged care providers, with a network of care homes and villages dedicated to providing a Better Everyday for residents, whānau and our people. We are embarking on a strategic project – ElevateHR – to strengthen and modernise our People & Culture practices, and we're looking for a skilled Project Specialist to help us deliver it.

This is a hands-on project role where you'll deliver practical improvements to our P&C systems, processes, and documentation. From workshops and surveys through to analysis, policy updates, and manager guides, you'll make sure our people experience is consistent, compliant, and future-ready.

You'll work closely with the Chief People Officer, Payroll & Data Manager, and key stakeholders, ensuring we align best practice with the unique needs of aged care. This is a six-month fixed-term role – ideal for someone who enjoys seeing projects through from analysis to delivery.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Undertaking the ElevateHR project work within agreed timeframes and scope.
  • Engaging stakeholders through surveys, workshops, and focus groups.
  • Turning insights into updated policies, guides, and templates that are clear and easy to use and accessible through good workflows and technology platforms.
  • Using NZ HR best practice to benchmark improvements.
  • Supporting communication and training to embed new processes across the organisation.
What You'll Bring
  • Strong HR/People & Culture background with knowledge of NZ employment law.
  • Experience in project work, ideally in HR Advisory, payroll and or recruitment. Experience in Process Flows, or business improvement is advantageous.
  • Confidence in drafting, reviewing, and embedding workplace policies, supporting documents and workflows.
  • Proven facilitation skills and the ability to build trust with a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Pragmatic, tech-savvy approach with experience using tools like SharePoint, survey platforms, and process mapping software.
  • Creativity and a drive to deliver efficient, simple but effective processes and procedures.
  • Previous experience in aged care, health, or another regulated service sector is an advantage.
