About you

We are looking for an experienced and proactive HR professional who thrives in a collaborative and dynamic environment. The ideal candidate will be organised, detail-oriented, and passionate about shaping a positive workplace culture. You will have a strong background in human resources and a solid understanding of both operational and strategic HR functions. As our People and Culture Advisor, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our team’s growth and development by implementing HR initiatives that align with ACRE’s strategic plans.

The role requires someone who is adaptable, an excellent communicator, and able to work effectively with a diverse team.

If you’re someone who can use your own initiative and creative problem-solving skills to develop HR strategies that drive ACRE’s strategic plan forward, we want to hear from you!

The role is either based on site in our headquarters at Old Beechworth Gaol or suitable for a remote or hybrid working arrangement. The role will work closely with the Executive Director Finance and Operations, the Executive Management team, and all members of the ACRE team.
