Make a real impact at AFCA. Where fairness drives every decision. Help us deliver world-class, independent complaints resolution for Australians. As a not-for-profit and progressive financial ombudsman, we’re championing positive change. Achieving our purpose takes progressive thinking, accountability and resilience. At AFCA, our inclusive leadership values every voice. We offer our people flexible work options, thoughtful benefits and opportunities to deepen expertise. Flourish in a diverse, caring culture. Feel the difference of belonging to an organisation intentionally designed to put people first.

Job Description

Bring your HR expertise to a role where your judgement, coaching and practical advice will make a real impact.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior People Advisor to join AFCA’s People & Culture team on a fixed-term contract through to 30 June 2027.

This is a great opportunity for an accomplished HR generalist who enjoys being close to the action. You’ll provide trusted, practical advice across employee relations and the broader employee lifecycle, coach and support fellow People Advisors, strengthen our advisory practices and help ensure we continue delivering a consistent, high-quality experience for our people.

You’ll join us at an important time for People & Culture. As we continue to evolve the way we work and undertake an HRIS implementation, you’ll play a key role in maintaining operational continuity while helping us improve the processes, policies and ways of working that underpin our People Advisory service.

What you’ll be doing

As our Senior People Advisor, you’ll:

  • Provide practical, commercially sound advice across employee relations and employee lifecycle matters.
  • Use your judgement to assess risk, confidently manage complex matters and recognise when specialist support or escalation is required.
  • Act as an escalation point for People Advisors and Coordinators, providing coaching, guidance and quality review.
  • Support daily triage, prioritisation and consistent case management across the People Advisory team.
  • Help embed our tiered People service model, including clear ways of working, ownership, hand-offs and escalation pathways.
  • Oversee People policy governance, including review cycles, consultation, approvals and publication.
  • Review and simplify policies, procedures, templates and guidance to keep them practical, current and aligned with legislative requirements.
  • Identify opportunities to improve advisory processes, workflows and service delivery.
  • Provide practitioner input into HRIS testing and readiness activities where required.
  • Partner across People & Culture and with teams including Payroll, Legal and Risk.

Qualifications

You’ll be an experienced HR practitioner who can quickly build credibility and operate with a high degree of autonomy.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Significant hands-on HR generalist experience at a senior advisory level.
  • Strong experience independently managing employee relations and employee lifecycle matters.
  • Deep working knowledge of Australian employment legislation, including the Fair Work Act and National Employment Standards.
  • Experience interpreting and applying industrial instruments and People policies in practical workplace situations.
  • Strong judgement and confidence assessing risk and navigating sensitive or complex people matters.
  • Experience coaching other HR professionals, reviewing advice and building capability without needing formal people leadership responsibility.
  • Practical experience with People policy governance, review and implementation.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities, build trusted stakeholder relationships and translate complex employment requirements into clear, practical advice.
  • A relevant HR or related qualification.

Experience supporting an HRIS implementation or HR transformation would be highly regarded

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
