People and Culture (HR) Advisor

Fixed term until 31 March 2011

The National Library of New Zealand has embarked on a significant programme of transformation including a review of the services we provide, looking at how we operate internally, the redevelopment of the existing Library building and culture - all within the next two years. Also during the next twelve months, the People and Culture team will be contributing significantly to the integration of the National Library, Department of Internal Affairs and Archives New Zealand.

The changes associated with these programmes of work make it a very exciting and stimulating time to be part of an enthusiastic and motivated team committed to supporting, advising and enabling our business to redefine and redesign itself for the future. This provides a real opportunity for People and Culture to make a tangible difference in terms of taking the function to a new level.

This role will provide generalist HR support for our two Relationship Managers, the Director People and Culture and other team members. The successful applicant will be committed to providing proactive and practical advice and support as required across a range of HR functions. They will make a valuable contribution to a cohesive and collaborative team environment that recognises its core strength lies in the contribution and commitment of each of its members.

This is a mid-level Advisory position which reports to the Director, People and Culture. It is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to develop their HR knowledge and experience in a small team with big aspirations and opportunities ahead of them. A tertiary qualification in HR or a related discipline is preferred and previous HR experience is essential. Previous working knowledge of Health and Safety practices is also advantageous.
