Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand Hamilton City Council Full time

Are you Hamilton City Council's next HR Advisor?

We are on a journey of substantial change, and we are looking for two experienced HR Advisors to join our busy and supportive HR Delivery Team. If you think this could be you - let's talk.

Our purpose of Hamilton City Council is to improve the wellbeing of Hamiltonians. This is our 'why' and ensures the people of Hamilton will always be our top priority. You will provide expert advice and guidance on a range of HR matters, as well as working with managers and staff across the organisation to promote a positive and inclusive work culture.

The role

We are looking for a customer focussed HR professional who will bring with them demonstrated experience in employment relations, coaching and development, conflict management, performance management and recruitment.

Who will I report to?

You will report to one of our HR Managers, however you will work closely with all members of the team to support the people leaders across the business.

This job is for you if you have:

  • A relevant tertiary qualification in HR or a related field.
  • At least three years' of experience in a similar HR role within a large, complex organisation.
  • Proven experience in guiding tricky HR matters, including end to end employment relations issues.
  • Sound knowledge of NZ Employment legislation and best practice.
  • Previous experience with recruitment.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A proactive and solution-focused approach.

This job isn't for you if:

  • You don't have enough experience to 'hit the ground running' - although we'll support you to get you on your feet, you need the confidence and knowledge behind you to lead seasoned managers through tough decisions.

What's in it for you?

The remuneration for this role begins at $93,000 but is negotiable depending on the skills and experience you can bring to our team.

  • Free medical insurance for you (including cover for pre-existing conditions and no excess) and discounted policies for your family members.
  • Two wellbeing days in addition to your annual leave each year to make sure you are looking after yourself.
  • Genuine career pathways and progression.
  • Free annual health checks and flu vaccinations.

Can I work flexibly?

Yes, flexible working is available.

Do we have your attention? Here's what to do next:

  • We've made the online application process as painless as possible - just upload your CV, answer a few questions about yourself and you are done
  • NOTE: that we'll be shortlisting as we receive applications – so don't muck around
