P&C Manager

Sits within an established, national P&C function within a private healthcare org. Ideal for an experienced BP seeking first leadership role.

A privately owned national healthcare provider, this well-established business has undertaken extensive change and transformation over the last several years and now operates a large and diverse workforce of roughly 20,000 employees extending nationally.

With a culture that is driven by a deep connection to their customers and in providing them with expert healthcare, this company makes a positive difference to the wellbeing for many lives across Australia every day.

About the role:
This is a newly created opportunity for a People & Culture Manager to join a national healthcare provider with a significant presence in disability and residential care services. The role supports a division that has previously operated somewhat independently from the broader P&C function and is now undergoing a period of reintegration and alignment. With future organisational change possible, this role offers both stability and the chance to contribute meaningfully through a period of potential transformation. Reporting to senior operational leaders and working closely with national P&C colleagues, the successful candidate will play a key role in shaping a consistent people strategy and supporting a predominantly front-line workforce.

• Lead the People & Culture team for a 500-person workforce across multiple sites, with a focus on disability support and residential services.
• Strengthen alignment between the division and the broader national P&C function, contributing to shared programs and national forums.
• Provide generalist HR support across the employee lifecycle.
• Support and develop a small P&C team, and play an active role in organisational planning, culture, and workforce engagement during a period of potential change.

• Ideally, you will have experience in the health sector (or similar, aligned sectors). Familiarity with a dispersed and complex workforce, blending blue & white collar and unionised environments, is important.
• Strong generalist business partnering toolkit that includes workforce planning, engagement, talent management and change management in addition to ER/IR. You are comfortable straddling the day-to-day with a broader strategic view.
• A genuine interest in spending time out in the business and a passion for developing your commercial acumen – you will have a history of forming long-lasting relationships with senior and executive level stakeholders.
