People Partner
One Model
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.
