About the Role
This is not just another HR role, it's about enabling people to thrive.
As a People Partner, you'll collaborate with leaders across all areas of the City to provide strategic and operational advice across the employee lifecycle, from workforce planning and onboarding to performance, development, and change.

Key focus areas include:
- Building strong, trusted partnerships with leaders and teams.
- Delivering practical and strategic HR advice aligned with business priorities.
- Supporting workforce planning and development to meet future capability needs.
- Providing case management and employee relations support grounded in fairness and compliance.
- Contributing to organisational improvement and culture-building initiatives.

- Demonstrated experience providing generalist HR support in a complex organisation, ideally at Advisor or Partner level.
- Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources or a related discipline.
- Strong knowledge of employment legislation, industrial instruments, and HR frameworks.
- The confidence to coach and influence leaders to achieve great people outcomes.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with a customer-first mindset.
Above all, you embody the City's values of Commitment, Teamwork, Courage and Respect.
Why Join Us?

This role is intentionally designed to offer impact and balance giving you the space to deliver strategic outcomes, partner closely with leaders, and contribute meaningfully to organisational success, all while enjoying a work rhythm that fits into a five-day week.
You'll join a team that believes in empowering people, building capability, and shaping a workplace where both our community and our employees can thrive.
