You are just about to make a life changing decision by applying for a role that supports St Vincent de Paul Society in making a difference to thousands of people!  In 2017-2018 we spent over $27 million dollars delivering programs and assistance to people experiencing disadvantage.

Committed to hiring staff who possess a genuine desire to make a difference to the lives of others, we currently have a new exciting opportunity to join our passionate, supportive and engaging Human Resources Team!

The role

Reporting to an engaging and supportive HR Operations Manager, the Senior HR Advisor will provide high level advice and support to managers and staff on a range of HR matters.

The position will play a key role in contributing to our leading organisational development projects and initiatives determined in the annual HR operational project plan. A key project for attention in the first twelve months will be the selection and implementation of a Human Resources Information System.
