People & Culture Administrator

Great People. Great Care. Your career can grow here.

Behind every great care team are people who help others feel welcomed, supported and ready to make a difference.

At Good Shepherd Lodge, that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for an organised, approachable and enthusiastic People & Culture Administrator who takes pride in getting the details right and enjoys helping people. You might already have experience in HR or recruitment, or be a capable administrator ready to build a career in People & Culture.

Bring your skills, curiosity and willingness to learn. We’re interested in what you can contribute today—and the potential you can develop with us.

Work with purpose

Our commitment to Great People. Great Care. connects the experience of our employees with the care we provide to older people.

Reporting to the People & Culture Manager, you’ll help make that commitment real: keeping candidates informed, helping new employees feel welcome and ensuring our teams have reliable, responsive support.

From someone’s first application to their first day and beyond, your work will help create a positive employee experience across Good Shepherd Lodge and Kerrisdale Gardens.

What you’ll be doing

This is a varied, hands-on role where you will:

• Coordinate recruitment administration, including advertisements, applications, interviews and reference checks.
• Help new employees get off to a great start through organised pre-employment checks, onboarding and induction.
• Prepare employment documents and maintain accurate, confidential employee records.
• Track qualifications, screening renewals, training and important employment milestones.
• Coordinate approved information for payroll and employee changes.
• Respond warmly to employee enquiries and connect people with the right support.
• Contribute to recognition activities, engagement initiatives and practical improvements to the way we work.

Grow your capability and confidence

You’ll gain practical experience across the employee lifecycle, with guidance from the People & Culture Manager and opportunities to build your knowledge of recruitment, people systems, workforce administration and aged care.

As your confidence grows, you’ll be encouraged to contribute ideas, improve processes and take ownership of your work. We value someone who asks thoughtful questions, follows through and wants to keep learning.

What you’ll bring

You’re someone who combines care for people with care for the details. You will have:

• Experience in HR, recruitment or a comparable administration role.
• Strong organisation skills and dependable follow-through.
• Clear, friendly communication and a helpful approach.
• Sound judgement when handling confidential information.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and learning new systems.
• Initiative, curiosity and a willingness to seek guidance when needed.

A qualification in Human Resources or Business Administration, or experience in aged care or health, would be welcome, but is not essential.

Our values guide how we work together: Flexibility & Adaptability, Innovation, Integrity, Compassion & Respect, and Inclusiveness. We’re looking for someone who brings these values to everyday interactions.

Bring your potential. Make a meaningful contribution.
