Make a difference everyday

Join HammondCare and help improve quality of life for older Australians in need. As a not-for-profit, Christian organisation, we provide expert aged care, home care, dementia care and palliative care. Mission-led, we build passionate teams who support older people through life’s most difficult circumstances.

With over 90 years of experience, we’re known for our relationship-based approach. Whether it’s in our homes, hospitals or the community, we bring skill, empathy and innovation to every moment of care.

It’s not just care. It’s HammondCare.

Shape meaningful change. Support incredible people. Make an impact that matters every day.

Are you a passionate and adaptable HR professional who thrives in environments where no two days look the same? Do you enjoy partnering with leaders to create great employee experiences, solve complex people challenges, and help teams navigate change with confidence? If so—we’d love to meet you.

We’re looking for a People Partner who wants to do more than just provide HR advice. In this role, you’ll become a trusted coach, a steady guide through industry change, and a champion for the people who deliver exceptional care to older Australians.

This is a parental leave contract until 30 June 2027 based in St Leonards. The position has flexibility to be either 3 or 4 days per week (workload will be adjusted accordingly), with hybrid working options.

What We Can Offer You

We care about your wellbeing at HammondCare and as a result offer a wide range of health and lifestyle benefits including:

• NFP salary packaging ($15,900 tax free) plus meals and entertainment benefit (up to $2,650 tax free)
• Additional leave purchase options and 14 weeks paid parental leave
• Flexible working options, including hybrid arrangements
• Discounts on everyday products and services
• Discounted healthcare memberships - access to network of fitness centres and pools for employees and families
• Free independent, confidential counselling services, wellbeing resources and webinars available through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family.
• Health & Wellbeing programmes
• Reward & Recognition programmes
• Referral bonuses
• Career and professional development opportunities
  
  

Why this role matters

• Aged care is evolving rapidly—and so are the people needs within it. With ongoing regulatory reform, workforce shortages, shifting community expectations, and a diverse employee base, you’ll play a critical role in helping our organisation stay ahead of the curve.
• Your work will directly influence how our teams feel, grow, lead, and perform, ultimately shaping the experience of the residents and families we support.
  
  

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building strong partnerships with leaders to navigate a wide spectrum of people matters—from workforce planning and organisational change to culture, performance, and wellbeing
• Supporting teams through sector-wide reform and regulatory updates, helping leaders translate requirements into practical people outcomes
• Coaching leaders to build capability, resilience, and confidence in managing people
• Streamlining people processes and identifying opportunities to improve the employee experience
• Contributing to strategic people initiatives that uplift culture, engagement, and retention
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• At least 5 year’s demonstrated experience in HR, ideally in a complex, highly regulated or service‑based environment (aged care or health experience a bonus but not essential)
• A curious mindset—someone who asks questions, sees patterns, and anticipates what’s coming next
• Confidence in navigating challenging conversations with empathy and clarity
• A collaborative, solutions‑focused approach
• A genuine passion for supporting a workforce that truly makes a difference
  
  

Why join us?

• Work in a purpose-led organisation where your impact is felt immediately and meaningfully
• Join a close‑knit HR team that values collaboration, growth, and shared problem solving
• Enjoy variety—every day brings a new challenge and a chance to learn
• Be part of a sector undergoing positive transformation
