Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Peak Services Full time

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join Peak Services as an Interim Senior IR Business Partner. In this role, you will be responsible for leading a diverse range of cases and providing proactive support to line managers around the disciplinary process.

Council adheres to exacting standards and thoroughness in their management of IR cases, resulting in very few situations where the Commission is involved. This role will also contribute to strengthening the understanding of IR processes across council with a strong emphasis on ensuring accountability by all in the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Providing professional and accurate advice on the interpretation and application of industrial, local government and other relevant legislation, certified agreements, and awards.
  • Coaching and supporting people leaders on the end-to-end management of ER/IR matters involving performance management, absence management, grievances, conduct and behaviour to build capability and ensure managers are informed, and supported to lead effectively.
  • Continuing with the high standard set by Council for best practice workplace investigations and providing high-level advice on people matters.
  • Supporting people leaders to conduct workplace investigations fairly and consistently.
  • Actively maintaining knowledge of relevant industrial instruments, policies, and procedures to ensure consistent and compliant application.

About You

We are looking for an experienced IR professional who can influence and communicate across all levels of an organisation. You will be known as someone who just rolls up their sleeves and deals with all levels in an organisation to ensure things get done, and who follows problems through to the solution and takes pride in the outcome.

Requirements

  • In-depth knowledge of the IR Act and the ability to apply this in a local government setting.
  • Minimum five years' experience in a senior role where industrial relations and workplace investigations were the focus of the roles.
  • Demonstrated experience in undertaking workplace investigations.
  • Experience collaborating with external stakeholders including unions.
  • Strong attention to detail, process-driven with a deep understanding of the disciplinary framework and renowned for your strong influencing and engaging style of communication.

What We Offer

Peak Services offers a competitive hourly rate of circa $70 + Super, with options for flexible working arrangements. We also provide accommodation and meet travel costs if you wish to be based in Emerald or alternatively if you need to work remotely, this will also be supported.
