About the role

The Employee Management Team plays a critical role in supporting leaders and employees in effectively addressing unsatisfactory performance, minor misconduct and incapacity matters, managing employee complaints and internal review requests, as well as supporting unplaced employees across the department.

In this Coordinator role you will draw on your HR administrative knowledge and passion for delivering positive customer outcomes to deliver effective administrative support for the broader team functions of Performance Support, the Ethical Conduct Unit and the Case Management Unit. Monitoring the teams' various communication channels, you will review and assess the nature of enquiries, provide appropriate guidance and response, and distribute workflows across the broader team as required. The capturing, assessment and timely reporting of sensitive data to a broad range of stakeholders is a key feature.

Whilst working in a supportive and collaborative team environment, this role has the scope for you to contribute and deliver on continuous improvement initiatives and provide you with insight into operations of key aspects of the employee lifecycle, with the aim of achieving positive outcomes for our schools, employees and students. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced HR Administrator or for someone seeking to utilise their studies and gain additional exposure in a dynamic, people-centred HR function and to make a positive impact in the world of Education.

Members of the Employee Management Team are required to maintain high levels of confidentiality, professionalism and ethical conduct. The work can be intensive, time pressured, challenging and at times politically sensitive – but as a supportive and engaging team, we achieve great things.
