About the mahi

Our People and Culture Coordinator is responsible for providing effective and efficient administration and coordination support in the provision of HR and health, safety and wellbeing for Harbour Hospice. Reporting to the P&C Manager and part of a small team, you’ll enjoy a busy and varied support role, interacting with all employees from retail staff through to our clinical, family support and business support teams. The key to your success will be your ability to ensure a great employee experience and be accurate and timely in everything you do.

You will:

• Create and update employment agreements and variations, and ensure all employment related documentation is received
• Facilitate the new starter process, liaise with payroll and IT, and work closely with managers to customise onboarding of new staff
• Manage pre-employment checks and ongoing vetting and health screening requirements
• Be the super user for our HRIS system EnableHR, and deliver system training as required
• Support with Health, Safety and Wellbeing administration
• Support the wider P&C team

Your “home” location will be Hibiscus House in Red Beach. Very occasionally you may be required to travel between our sites on the North Shore, including our retail stores. We have embraced flexible working and we’ll ensure you’re set up to work effectively onsite and from home. Ideally you will work full time (40 hours per week) but we will consider applicants wanting to work 32 hours a week. 

About you | Mōhou ake

We’re looking for a motivated HR Coordinator or Administrator with a genuine passion and interest in HR. A few years’ experience in a similar role is ideal and experience in the health sector will be an advantage but is not a must have.

You will demonstrate:

• Some understanding of NZ employment legislation and contracts
• Relationship building skills and the ability to work across all levels of the organisation
• Fantastic communication skills both written and verbal
• Ability to deliver system training
• High proficiency in MS Office Suite and ability to pick up new systems quickly

Attention to detail is key. You’ll show us your track record of effective time management, collaboration to keep processes moving, and excellent customer service. Above all, you’ll have a genuine passion for HR, and desire to work in a non-profit environment where you know your contribution makes a difference to your community.

About us | Ko mātou tēnei

Harbour Hospice is one of the largest hospices in Aotearoa and has been caring for tūroro (patients) and their family and whānau for almost 40 years. Every day we care for close to 400 people across the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast and Warkworth/Wellsford regions, supporting them at home, in one of our two inpatient units, or in community programmes offered at each of our three sites.

We have a network of 17 hospice shops from Devonport to Te Hana, delivering a third of our funding. The shops are busy and vibrant and an important part of the communities we serve.

Where possible our people work with a hybrid working model in order to facilitate and maximise our service delivery options.

What’s in it for you?

We’ll provide full training and a thorough onboarding to set you up for success. Our employees work in adaptable and friendly teams, and we actively promote a workplace culture which embraces and reflects our core values – to be compassionate, inclusive and professional – at all times. You can work flexibly onsite and from home and you’ll be empowered by your manager to focus on creating a great employee experience, outcomes and innovations. Best of all, you will join an organisation that places aroha and manaakitanga at the core of everything that we do. We’re forward thinking and excited for what the future holds as our service expands to meet the need of our growing communities.
