City of Rockingham

Human Resources Advisor

Permanent

Full-time (average of 38 hours per week)

Let’s talk about you.

• Are you wanting to be part of a team that is cohesive and genuinely committed to working together to achieve outcomes?
• Are you motivated to deliver outstanding advice and support?
• Are you looking for the opportunity to apply your HR skills in a local government environment?
• Are you a team player?

Did you say ‘YES’ to all of the above?   

As the team supporting one of Rockingham’s largest employers, we are looking for an HR professional to apply and grow their HR expertise. 

You will be pivotal in supporting and enhancing the end-to-end employee experience, from attracting our new employees into the organisation to waving them goodbye, knowing they’ll reflect positively on their employment and become great advocates for the next generation of City employees. 

We can offer you the opportunity to apply your knowledge of the legislative and industrial instruments that underpin our employment relationships on a daily basis, and across a diverse workforce.  We’ll even throw in the occasional curly question (we have lots of them after becoming part of the State IR system).  You will draw on your knowledge and experience to provide accurate and timely advice to the organisation, ensuring we continue to meet (perhaps even exceed) compliance and legislative requirements.  Applying your strong interpersonal and communication skills, you’ll engage with and support employees at all levels within the City. 

Strong experience in HR (either generalist or a specific discipline), supported with a formal qualification in an HR-related discipline is essential for this role.

In no more than two pages, please tell us about how you will be able to fulfil the job role requirements, with reference to your:

• Knowledge of relevant legislation, regulations, practices, procedures and standards
• Experience in applying these across a large and diverse workforce
• Experience in one or more aspects of HR e.g. recruitment and attraction, learning and development, IR/ER, etc.

We are offering a gross salary of $87,585 – $94,072 per annum, dependant on skills and experience. But this job is so much more than the money.
