Lead Employee & Industrial Relations Across a Multi-Site, Dynamic Workforce

Work Your Way: 3 Days in Our Vibrant Sydney Office, 2 Days from Home

At Levande, we're more than a workplace—we're a community where people thrive. As a leader in the retirement living sector, we're passionate about fostering care, empowerment, and growth. Join us as an Employee & Industrial Relations HR Business Partner, where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping workplace culture, supporting leaders, and ensuring compliance across a geographically dispersed workforce.

Why This Role Stands Out

This hybrid opportunity offers you the best of both worlds—collaborate in person at our Sydney office three days a week, then enjoy the flexibility of working remotely for two days. It's a role designed to fit your lifestyle while allowing you to make a meaningful impact.

This role would suit an individual with a HR or legal background who has experience managing multi-site locations that are geographically dispersed. Experience in retail, hospitality, or health sectors will be highly regarded.

What You'll Achieve

This is your chance to shape the future of workplace relations at Levande by:

• Leading Employee & Industrial Relations: Solve complex challenges, conduct workplace investigations, and ensure compliance with Awards and Enterprise Agreements.
• Providing Expert ER/IR Guidance: Support and guide leaders through enterprise agreement interpretations, policy compliance, and dispute resolution.
• Empowering Leaders: Coach and support managers to foster high-performing, accountable teams.
• Driving Cultural Excellence: Champion diversity, inclusion, and employee engagement initiatives.
• Optimising Workforce Planning: Help leaders build and retain talent while achieving resource efficiency.
• Innovating Through Change: Implement impactful change programs and collaborate on company-wide P&C initiatives.

With a client group of 300 people, you'll work closely with Centres of Excellence to deliver tailored HR and ER solutions.

What We're Looking For

You're an expert in Employee and Industrial Relations, bringing:

• 8–10 years of experience in HR, ER, or a legal role, specialising in employee and industrial relations across multi-site environments.
• Proven ability to manage complex ER cases, workplace investigations, and dispute resolution processes.
• Comprehensive knowledge of employment legislation, Modern Awards, and Enterprise Agreements.
• Experience working in industries with multi-site, geographically dispersed workforces (e.g., retail, hospitality, or health).
• Strong ability to coach and influence leaders to foster accountability and performance.
• A passion for building inclusive, high-performing workplace cultures.
• Relevant tertiary qualifications in HR, IR, Law, or a related field (highly desirable).

Why You'll Love Levande

At Levande, we value you as much as the work you do. Here's what's in store:

• Flexibility at Its Best: Enjoy a hybrid work model—three days in our vibrant Sydney office and two days from home, giving you the perfect balance between collaboration and flexibility.
• Your Day, Your Way: Enjoy "My Day," an annual day to focus on your well-being.
• Celebrate You: Shine at our Spirit of Levande Awards & Gala Night.
• Family First: Take advantage of up to 20 weeks of Paid Parental Leave and Grandparents Leave.
• Savings Galore: Access our We Shine Savings program for exclusive discounts.
• Invest in You: Take paid study leave with Continuing Education Assistance and explore over 100,000 learning solutions via the Go1 Learning Library.
• Well-Being Support: Confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family.
• Be Recognised: Celebrate your achievements through peer and manager recognition programs.
• Connect and Grow: Refer a friend through our We Connect program and share the rewards.
