Tandem Partners are delighted to partner with a leading higher education provider as they continue to build a proactive and people-first HR function.

This 6-month fixed-term role has been created to backfill a team member seconded to a major implementation project. As Associate HR Business Partner, you will step into a trusted advisory position, supporting a defined client portfolio and contributing to the smooth delivery of both BAU HR activity and people initiatives.

  • Assist in organisational change processes and position reviews
  • Partner on recruitment activity and contribute to position description development
  • Analyse engagement survey data and support people planning initiatives
  • Prepare reports on HR metrics (e.g. new hires, terminations, compliance)
  • Work collaboratively across other HR functions including Employee Relations, Recruitment, Payroll, and Employee Experience

You will bring:

  • A relevant degree with at least 4 years' experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within a complex or unionised environment
  • Confidence interpreting and applying enterprise agreements
  • Demonstrated ability to manage ER casework, coach leaders, and navigate sensitive people matters with sound judgement
  • Experience supporting managers with performance, onboarding, change processes, and workforce planning
  • Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and relationship-building skills
  • High attention to detail, with the ability to juggle competing priorities in a fast-paced setting
  • A collaborative mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement

This is an excellent opportunity to join a purpose-led organisation and play a meaningful role in supporting leaders and employees during a key transitional period. You'll be part of a dedicated HR team that values partnership, impact, and professional growth.
