Join a friendly and open plan office where our customer-focused People and Culture team work collaboratively to support a diverse range of stakeholders University-wide.

In this role, you’ll be part of a large, supportive and high-performing team responsible for delivering services across the employee life cycle — from onboarding and payroll to leave, contracts, and exits. You’ll work closely with staff across the University, ensuring compliance with policies, procedures, and industrial instruments, while supporting the systems that impact the entire Curtin workforce.

**Your day-to-day**:
This includes:

- Providing high-quality, timely and accurate advice to employees and stakeholders on employment matters.
- Running pay audit reports and helping ensure our data is clean and reliable.
- Investigating and resolving payroll and benefits queries.
- Preparing contracts in line with policy and legislative requirements.
- Managing sponsored visa processes and conducting VEVO checks.
- Coordinating staff relocations with faculties, schools and our relocation provider.
- Supporting offboarding processes including resignations, retirements, terminations and redundancies.

**Who we are looking for**:
We’re looking for someone who’s proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a busy, people-focused environment. You’ll bring:

- A high level of accuracy, strong numeracy skills, and a keen eye for detail.
- Great communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with a range of people.
- Strong problem-solving skills with the aptitude to learn new systems and adapting to change quickly.
- Experience working across the employee lifecycle — from onboarding to exits.
- The ability to interpret and provide clear advice on entitlements, policies and conditions.
- A relevant qualification or experience in HR — desirable but not essential

**Role Requirements**:

- As this is a fixed-term contract, you will require current work rights in Australia that match the tenure of this role.

**Your Team**:
We are an energetic, hard-working team that forms part of the broader **People and Culture**team, enabling ongoing professional development opportunities for our staff. Curtin is a friendly place where integrity, respect for one another, courage, excellence, and impact are a part of everyday life. Our vibrant campus includes an art gallery, gym, childcare and medical centre, and endless food options, including a supermarket.
