Step into a role where your expertise doesn’t just support the workforce - it shapes the future of one of Australia’s largest and most dynamic hospitals!
At Westmead Hospital, we’re looking for a Senior HR practitioner who is ready to operate at pace, influence at scale, and make a genuine impact across a complex, high-performing health environment. This is not a traditional HR role - it’s an opportunity to partner with senior leaders, navigate real-time challenges, and drive meaningful workforce outcomes that directly support patient care.
You’ll be part of a forward thinking People & Culture team embedded within a hospital that never stands still. From workforce strategy and complex case management to organisational change, industrial relations, and leadership coaching, your work will be varied, visible, and valued. No two days are the same - and that’s exactly what makes this role so rewarding.
As part of a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI), you may also be eligible to access salary packaging benefits that can increase your take-home pay. This allows you to pay for certain everyday expenses - such as mortgage or rent, utilities, or novated leasing - using pre-tax income, reducing your taxable salary and putting more money in your pocket each pay cycle. It’s a meaningful financial benefit that adds real value to your overall remuneration.
We’re looking for someone who is confident, credible, and calm under pressure. A true HR generalist with strong judgement, who can build trusted relationships, navigate complexity, and bring a pragmatic, solutions focused approach to everything they do.
If you’re motivated by challenge, purpose, and the opportunity to make a difference at scale, this is your next move!
