Senior P & C Advisor | 8 week contract

Senior People & Capability Advisor – Fixed-Term Contract

Approximately 8 weeks | Start ASAP | Wellington

We are seeking an experienced Senior People & Capability Advisor for a short-term fixed-term contract of approximately eight weeks, providing cover while a Senior Advisor is away.

This is an opportunity for an experienced P & C generalist who can step into an established organisation, quickly build relationships and provide practical, trusted advice and support to Managers and General Managers.

Working as part of the People & Capability function, you will provide day-to-day generalist P & C support across a broad range of people matters. The role requires someone who is confident working independently, comfortable advising senior leaders, and able to quickly understand an organisation and its people.

Key areas of responsibility will include:

• Providing practical P & C advice and guidance to Managers and General Managers
• Supporting managers with employee relations and general employment matters
• Performance management and advice around people issues
• Supporting recruitment and employment processes where required
• Interpreting employment agreements, policies and procedures
• Assisting with organisational change and other P & C initiatives as required
• Coaching managers through people-related situations and helping them reach pragmatic, appropriate solutions
• Providing general support across the P&C function during the period of cover

We are looking for someone with solid experience at Senior HR Advisor or Senior People & Capability Advisor level who can come in and become productive quickly. This is a full time fixed term contract, but with hybrid options available.

You will ideally bring strong New Zealand employment relations knowledge, sound judgement, excellent interpersonal skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders at all levels. You will be approachable and pragmatic, while also being comfortable dealing with sensitive or more complex employment matters.

This role would particularly suit an experienced Senior P & C/HR Advisor who is currently contracting, between assignments, or available at short notice and interested in a relatively short engagement.

The contract is expected to be approximately eight weeks, with an ASAP start.

If you are available immediately or at short notice and would like to discuss the opportunity, call Sue on 027 227 6447.
