Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia Core Strategies Full time

You care about people. You want to build relationships, solve problems, and help businesses thrive. You're ready to grow your career in HR.

At Core Strategies, we partner with businesses across Australia to deliver smart, practical HR support that sticks. We don't just tick compliance boxes, we walk alongside our clients as their trusted HR partner, helping them build better teams, safer workplaces, and stronger businesses.

Now, we're looking for someone special to join us in the role of HR Manager - Client Partnerships. Whether you're experienced or just starting out in HR, if you're driven by relationships, safety, and client satisfaction, this could be the perfect next step.

About the Role

You'll be the go-to HR contact for a small portfolio of client businesses across different industries, managing everything from day-to-day HR queries to long-term strategic projects. You'll build real connections with your clients, offering both compliance support and creative solutions tailored to their people and culture.

You'll be trusted to:

Support your clients with:

  • Employment contracts and policy development
  • Onboarding, offboarding, and team culture improvement
  • Performance review processes and PIPs
  • Fair Work compliance and safety-based advice
  • Career mapping, SOPs, and organisational charts
  • Day-to-day people issues that pop up in real businesses

Manage relationships and timelines:

  • Lead client meetings and onboarding calls
  • Keep work on track and deliver to deadlines
  • Provide updates and communicate proactively
  • Flag when clients may benefit from additional support or services

Work across the big picture and the detail:

  • Think ahead, spot risk, and recommend better systems
  • Partner with marketing to share content ideas
  • Use our systems and templates to stay organised
  • Bring ideas and insight to each client conversation
What we're looking for:

You're someone who builds rapport easily, communicates clearly, and genuinely enjoys helping others. You might already be in HR, or you might be coming from a people-focused admin, leadership, or operations background. Either way, if you've got the right mindset, we're ready to support your development.

You'll thrive if you:
  • Care deeply about client satisfaction, safety, and people outcomes
  • Want to work across different industries and business types
  • Are confident managing your own time and schedule
  • Love solving problems and thinking strategically
  • Are curious, proactive, and eager to learn
  • Take pride in doing things properly and professionally
You'll need:
  • Certificate IV in Human Resources (or willingness to work towards it)
  • Ability to manage competing priorities with confidence
  • Strong written communication skills and people-first thinking
  • Bonus points for knowledge of the Fair Work Commission and multiple industry exposure
Why join Core Strategies?
  • A role that truly makes a difference for business owners and their teams
  • Flexibility to work from home and on-site with clients
  • Support from experienced HR professionals who want to see you succeed
  • Exposure to real, rewarding work across multiple industries
  • A growing company with heart, humour, and a strong sense of purpose
