This is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to use your skills to create a profound and positive impact on the lives of individuals in our care. At HCA, this is where care begins.

We are looking for an experienced HR Manager to support our Primary Health Services business unit, partnering with leaders across a complex service delivery environment to deliver practical, commercially focused HR solutions.

This is a hands-on HR leadership role with a strong focus on HR operations, employee relations, business partnering and organisational change.

• Partner with senior leaders and operational teams to understand business priorities and provide practical, commercially focused HR advice and solutions.
• Oversee HR operations and employee lifecycle processes, ensuring consistent, compliant and effective HR practices across the business.
• Provide senior advice on complex employee relations and industrial relations matters, acting as an escalation point where required.
• Use workforce data and insights to identify trends, risks and opportunities and support workforce planning and business decision-making.
• Lead the HR component of organisational change and drive improvements to HR processes, systems and ways of working.
• Coach and support leaders to build high-performing, accountable and engaged teams, while working collaboratively with Recruitment, Learning & Development and Work Health & Safety specialist teams.
