The People Culture & Capability team are looking for an experienced Senior Advisor in a limited tenure capacity due to the incumbent taking maternity leave.

The team plays an integral part in influencing business strategy and the decision making process. We focus our efforts on operational programs and services that support employees and organisational objectives.

What does a day in the life of a Senior Advisor look like?

• Work collectively to mitigate IR risk for Council;
• Consistently working to ensure high level of quality and efficiency;
