About Us

The Little Sisters of the Poor are an international Catholic congregation of religious women whose mission is to care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service. Inspired by St Jeanne Jugan, the Little Sisters of the Poor Aged Care Limited (LSAC) operate three aged care Homes – Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, and care and welcome the elderly and serve them with love and respect until death.

LSAC is seeking an experienced HR professional to fulfill this national role in the life of this community, and to provide an informed, professional and efficient service on all aspects of human resource management and strategy.

About the Role

Reporting to the Mother Provincial who is based at Randwick, Sydney, the National Human Resources Manager is responsible for the HR management function across all three Homes.  With a total workforce of about 250 staff, you will ensure there is a national HR management framework in place and aligned to the Sister’s purpose and strategies with clear lines of accountability.

You will ensure there is a true business partner model of service delivery in place with key responsibility to advise and empower senior leaderships, line managers and HR coordinators in each Home.

You will develop and implement best practice HR policies and procedures throughout each Home and ensure LSAC complies with its obligations under Australian workplace relations and employment laws.

You will advise the team of HR coordinators and administrative support staff in each of the Homes in the performance of their HR responsibilities, including in recruitment and formation of employment contracts and rostering of hours of work.

You will monitor compliance with the terms and conditions of employment of the LSAC enterprise agreement and the recent changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). You will also ensure compliance with all regulated people management regimes, specifically payroll and the relevant Aged Care Standards.

Reporting is a key requirement of this role, and so you will be required to report periodically on the performance of the HR function to the LSAC Mother Provincial and the LSAC National Advisory Group.

This position is a permanent, part-time role working 3 days per week. The position will be based at Randwick.  A hybrid working model is possible for this opportunity.
