Interim HR Administrator - Immediate start

Short-term contract | Brisbane | Hybrid working

There are some HR contracts where you step into a perfectly polished environment, with every system, process and workflow already humming along.

This isn't one of them - and that's part of the opportunity.

We're partnering with a national transport and tourism organisation looking for an experienced HR Administrator or Coordinator to join its People & Culture team for an initial six week contract, with a strong possibility of extending to approximately three months – ASAP start.

Supporting a geographically dispersed, 24/7 operational workforce, this is a genuinely hands-on role within a People & Culture function currently going through a period of change and improvement.

Some processes remain manual, there are plenty of spreadsheets, and there is real work underway to strengthen the HR foundations of the business.

You'll come in to take ownership of much of the day-to-day HR administration, freeing up the HR lead to focus on the broader work ahead.

What you'll be doing
Your days will be varied, but will include:

• Preparing employment contracts and managing onboarding and offboarding administration
• Responding to employee enquiries and coordinating queries through to the appropriate team
• Supporting recruitment activity, including interview coordination, participating in interviews and reference checking
• Maintaining employee records, documentation and HR administration
• Coordinating straightforward performance and employee relations processes, including documentation and meeting support
• Supporting managers with the administrative components of people matters
• Working across existing HR systems alongside some manual processes
• Identifying opportunities to simplify, improve or automate HR processes where practical
• Potentially supporting policy, procedure and learning initiatives depending on your experience and interests

Who we're looking for
You don't need to arrive knowing every answer, but you do need to be someone who can work things out.

You'll probably have previous experience as an HR Administrator, HR Coordinator or developing HR Advisor and be comfortable working independently once you've been given some direction.

You'll be organised, practical and happy to take ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next.

Just as importantly, you'll need to be comfortable working in an environment where HR systems and processes are still evolving. If you need sophisticated technology and perfectly automated workflows to do your best work, this probably isn't the contract for you.

You'll suit the team particularly well if you're:

• Confident, capable and able to use your initiative
• Highly organised and comfortable managing competing priorities
• Happy working across both HR administration and broader people activities
• Comfortable asking questions when you need to, then getting on with the job
• Approachable, down to earth and able to have a bit of fun along the way
• Interested in improving processes rather than simply working around them
• Comfortable supporting a geographically dispersed and operational workforce
• Are available for immediate start

Experience supporting recruitment or straightforward employee relations matters would be valuable, but neither needs to be your specialty.

Why consider it?
For someone who enjoys getting into the detail, making things easier and being genuinely useful to a busy HR leader, there's an opportunity to make an impact very quickly.

You'll also have:

• Initial six week contract with likely extension to approximately three months
• Hybrid working – three days in the office and two from home
• Tuesday and Wednesday as team office days, with flexibility around your third day
• Corporate office hours with flexible start and finish times
• East Pinkenba location with onsite parking
• A relaxed, approachable and down to earth team environment
• Exposure across recruitment, employee relations, HR operations and process improvement

The role is Brisbane based and we're looking for someone who can start quickly.

If you're an experienced HR Administrator or Coordinator who likes rolling up your sleeves, bringing some order to the moving parts and helping a team get things done, I'd love to hear from you.
