What’s the Brief?
You’ll be joining a small, tight-knit team committed to supporting the trades sector with down-to-earth, commercially savvy workplace relations advice. This is a business that genuinely walks the talk on empathy, empowerment, and integrity. Now entering an exciting growth phase, you’ll have the opportunity to shape its direction while doing meaningful, high-impact work.

Expect variety, visibility, and the freedom to make your mark — without wading through layers of hierarchy or politics.

  
Is This Your Perfect Match?
As a member of the Workplace Relations team, reporting to the Executive Director, you'll be the go-to for members — fielding queries, managing cases, and guiding businesses through everything from Fair Work conciliations to complex enterprise bargaining. You’ll work closely with a Head of People who gets it, a brilliant peer, and a member base that genuinely values your advice.
  
Your Role in Action

• Deliver Level 1 workplace relations advice via inbox and phone to small business members
• Draft and review employment contracts, policies, and award interpretations
• Manage WorkCover matters and attend Fair Work conciliations
• Support members with EBA implementation, interpretation, and negotiation
• Conduct workplace investigations and risk assessments
• Deliver workshops and tailored training sessions
• Partner with internal employment lawyers and WR consultants on complex issues
• Contribute to fee-for-service revenue

  
What You Bring to the Table
You’ve got a solid background in workplace or industrial relations, ideally with exposure to union environments, EBA work or the employer association space. You know your stuff — but you’re also patient, people-smart, and ready to roll up your sleeves to help someone who’s never heard of a modern award.

You are:

• An ER/IR consultant, employment lawyer or ex-union/agency advisor
• Ready to escape the red tape of big corporates and do work that makes a real difference
• Commercially minded and excited by a model where your contribution is tied to outcomes
• Empathetic, calm under pressure, and able to explain IR in plain English
