HR Advisor- 12-month Fixed Term

About us

Our goal to be Australia’s Bank of choice drives us to set the example of how banking should be: progressive, sustainable, shared, and trusted.

Within our People & Culture function sits our People Advisory Centre (PAC). This team is responsible for delivering accurate and timely advice on people-related policies, procedures, and people programs to leaders and our staff enterprise-wide. PAC is the centre of excellence for generalist advice, the face of People & Culture, and accountable for delivering trusted and outstanding service to the bank’s people.

About the role

Our HR Advisor role, internally referred to as People Consultant, is primarily responsible for providing timely, accurate, and high-quality advice to leaders and staff across a broad range of people related matters. No two days will be the same as you switch between coaching leaders on effectively managing their teams, helping staff with employment related enquiries such as leave and pay, learning and development, WHS, or escalating to appropriate specialist teams. As a trusted advisor, you’ll provide professional information always going above and beyond to educate and promote self-service - true knowledge sharing to empower our leaders and staff.

With an experienced background in HR from a large complex environment you will bring your generalist HR knowledge and passion for helping others. You’ll continue to learn on the job by asking the right questions to investigate complex enquires and contribute to the continuous improvement of processes by identifying opportunities and sharing your learnings with the team. Above all you’ll be customer-centric, obsessed with ensuring every interaction that anyone has with the PAC is positive and further builds an internal brand of excellence

Join a People & Culture function whose vision is to grow a community where we want to work, where we are valued and where we belong. An experienced leadership team will coach and mentor you to grow your professional HR skills to the next level. Plus you’ll be part of an engaged and collaborative team that enjoy a bit of banter, jump in and support each other, value each other’s input and ideas, and where the work you do will make a real impact across our organisation every day.

This is a 12-month fixed term contract role and can be based in Adelaide, Bendigo, Melbourne, or Perth for the two days per week that you’re in the office, with hybrid ways of working our norm.
