HR Advisor

About the opportunity

Beneco is hiring for a newly established HR Advisor position within its People & Culture team. In this role, you will work alongside the Leader of People, Culture & Strategy to help create an outstanding employee experience across a growing occupational rehabilitation business.

This is a hands-on generalist HR position where you will be the main point of contact for practical people advice, support employees and leaders throughout the employment journey, and help deliver People & Culture initiatives that make a real difference for both staff and the clients supported through recovery and return-to-work services.

The role will suit someone who enjoys the breadth of generalist HR work, values strong working relationships, and is looking for meaningful work with space to contribute and grow.

Key responsibilities

• Offer prompt, practical HR guidance to managers and employees on a wide range of generalist topics such as performance management, employee relations, policy interpretation, and workforce-related questions.
• Support the complete employee journey, including onboarding, induction, and exit processes, while ensuring a smooth and positive experience at each stage.
• Work with leaders to spot people-related risks and opportunities early, and assist with workforce planning and organisational effectiveness.
• Help create, refine, and roll out HR policies, procedures, and frameworks that reflect Beneco’s values and meet legal obligations.
• Partner with the People & Culture team on initiatives related to engagement, workplace culture, and ongoing improvement.
• Keep HR records accurate and up to date, and prepare reporting that supports informed people decisions.

About you

You are ready to move up from an HR Coordinator-type role and are genuinely motivated by working with people. You bring a practical, solutions-oriented mindset and the confidence to advise on a broad range of HR matters.

• 2 to 3 years of generalist HR experience, preferably in a fast-moving or growth-stage environment; experience in healthcare or other organisations with multiple sites is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of Australian employment law, Fair Work requirements, and current HR best practice.
• Exposure to HR systems and platforms; experience with Employment Hero would be an advantage.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust quickly, communicate effectively, and influence people at different levels.
• High attention to detail and strong accuracy in your work.
• Proactive and improvement-minded, with the confidence to identify gaps, suggest better ways of working, and respectfully challenge the status quo.
• Professional and resilient, able to manage sensitive matters discreetly and stay composed under pressure.
