Senior HR Advisor (AO6 Equivalent)

We are seeking an experienced Senior HR Advisor to join a unique independent statutory authority that plays a critical role in supporting accountability, transparency and good governance across Queensland.

Working within a small, high-performing People and Culture team, you will partner directly with leaders and stakeholders across the organisation to provide practical, commercially-minded and risk-informed HR advice. This is a genuinely broad generalist role, offering exposure to employee relations, recruitment, workforce planning, performance management, workplace health and safety, organisational capability and learning and development.

You'll be joining an organisation that values expertise, professionalism and thoughtful advice. Leaders rely heavily on People and Culture to navigate complex workforce matters, meaning your contribution will be visible, valued and influential.

To be successful, you will bring:

• Demonstrated experience within the Queensland public sector or a comparable government environment
• Strong knowledge of employment legislation, industrial relations frameworks, awards and enterprise agreements
• Experience managing a broad range of employee relations and workforce matters
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills
• Sound judgement and the ability to balance compliance, risk and business outcomes
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience or a genuine interest in Workplace Health and Safety and/or Learning and Development will be highly regarded

• Flexible full-time arrangement (36.25 hours per week)
• Hybrid working environment with flexibility to balance office and remote work
• Immediate commencement preferred
• Labour hire, fixed-term contract and mobility arrangements considered
