Varsity Lakes, Queensland, Australia Govindas Full time $90,000 - $110,000 per year

Are you passionate about people and culture? Do you want to help build a workplace where staff feel supported, valued, and connected to something bigger than themselves? Govindas — a not-for-profit vegetarian restaurant group with three locations and a central kitchen — is looking for the right person to step into a key leadership role: Head of People / People & Culture Manager.

About the Role

This role is about people, not paperwork. You'll be the go-to person for everything to do with our team: recruitment, rostering, training, culture, wellbeing, and HR processes. We're looking for someone who can help our people grow, who brings a caring but professional touch, and who can make sure our workplace is both happy and compliant.

You'll work closely with outlet managers and our leadership team to keep staffing on track, support team development, and bring fresh ideas for how we can continue to improve staff experience.

What We're Looking For

  • Someone with a natural people focus — approachable, empathetic, and supportive.
  • Great at listening, communicating, and problem solving.
  • Organised and proactive — you like to see things run smoothly.
  • Interest or experience in recruitment, rostering, training, or HR (formal qualifications welcome, but not essential).
  • A values-driven person who resonates with Govindas' ethos of serving wholesome food in a positive way.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee recruitment, onboarding, and staff rostering.
  • Build and run training programs for staff at all levels.
  • Champion workplace culture and staff wellbeing.
  • Support managers with staff reviews, development, and conflict resolution.
  • Keep policies and HR processes up to date with legal requirements.

Why Join Govindas?

  • Be part of a community-focused not-for-profit business.
  • Help shape the workplace culture across our three outlets and central kitchen.
  • Opportunities to learn and grow — we'll support the right person, even if you're earlier in your career.
  • Work with a values-driven team who care about food, people, and making a difference.
