The role would particularly suit someone with HR experience looking to broaden their skill set and leadership skills. The key duties of the position include: Demonstrated experience in managing multiple priorities and meeting tight deadlines. An eye for detail, to ensure compliance across a wide range of PGPA Act responsibilities. Experience in managing and developing a small team. Strong relationship building skills to build trust quickly across the workforce and the Executive. Experience in managing HR policy and practice, including workforce development and change.
