Want to take your HR career somewhere different?
Join Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service (TCHHS) as a Senior HR Business Partner, providing trusted, high-level HR and employment relations advice to leaders across one of the most unique and diverse health services in Queensland.
Based in Cairns, you'll partner with leaders and teams across our organisation to navigate complex people matters, strengthen people management practices and find practical solutions that support both our workforce and the communities we serve. And while Cairns will be your home base, from time to time your work may take you beyond the office and into the incredible communities of the Torres Strait and Cape York.
What you'll be doing
No two days will look quite the same.
You'll provide high-level advice, guidance and support across a broad range of Human Resources, Workplace and Employment Relations matters, with a strong focus on building effective employment practices and people management strategies. You may find yourself:
partnering with leaders to work through complex or sensitive employee matters
providing advice relating to performance, discipline, suspension, dismissal, workplace harassment and medical assessment
interpreting legislation, directives, policies, awards and agreements and translating them into clear, practical advice
undertaking research and workplace investigations
preparing confidential reports, correspondence and recommendations
supporting leaders to confidently manage their staff
working collaboratively across HR and the broader organisation to find practical, workable solutions

experience providing advice on complex and sensitive employment matters
strong HR business acumen and conceptual thinking skills
