The Profile: Confident, Capable, and Accountable

You are a confident and capable HR generalist who takes ownership of your work and follows through to completion.

You are organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities while delivering work that is accurate, timely, and reliable.

This role is suited to an experienced HR professional who can operate independently and deliver across the full HR lifecycle.

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• 3 - 5+ years’ experience in a generalist HR role
• Experience managing recruitment and onboarding processes
• Strong understanding of employment legislation and HR practices
• Experience providing HR advice to managers and staff
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

Why This Role Matters

Every organisation relies on its people — but not every role gets to support how those people are brought in, supported, and set up for success.

In this role, you’ll help ensure the organisation runs smoothly from a people perspective — supporting teams, maintaining consistency, and contributing to how the organisation grows and delivers its work.

Your work will support the people delivering real change across the VET system.
