As our People & Culture Coordinator, you will be part of a small, committed and practical team that works closely with leaders and employees across Council. You will have the opportunity to contribute across the full employee lifecycle, provide trusted advice, support meaningful workplace improvements, and help strengthen a positive, values-driven culture across Glenelg Shire Council.
This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, values strong working relationships, and wants to make a genuine contribution in a role where their work matters.

- Employee and industrial relations advice.
- Award and enterprise agreement interpretation.
- Performance, change and workplace support.
- Policy, process and compliance activities.
- Enterprise bargaining preparation and implementation support.
- Workplace investigations and procedural fairness processes.
- People-related projects that improve culture, communication and the employee experience.
You will also play an important role in helping leaders navigate people matters in a practical, fair and consistent way.
Why Join Us?
This is a great opportunity to be part of a team that is focused on building trust, improving how we work, and supporting a workplace where people can do their best work.
You will have the chance to:

About You
We are looking for someone who brings sound judgement, professionalism and a genuine interest in people, culture and workplace improvement.
You will thrive in this role if you:
- Have experience in human resources, employee relations, organisational development or a related people-focused role.
