Careers at Rocky Bay

People and Culture Business Partner

Help shape the next chapter of People and Culture at Rocky Bay.

At Rocky Bay, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re evolving the way People and Culture partners with the organisation, with a greater focus on trusted advice, leader capability, employee experience and continuous improvement. 

Rocky Bay is a leading provider of disability services, supporting thousands of children and adults across Western Australia to live with choice, independence and dignity.

We’re looking for a People and Culture Business Partner who wants to be part of that journey.

You’ll join a close-knit and energetic team and partner with leaders across our Corporate and Operational divisions, supporting the people matters that arise every day while also contributing to projects and improvements that will shape how we work in the future.

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply maintain existing HR processes. You’ll have the opportunity to bring ideas, challenge thinking constructively, build trusted relationships and help us develop practical, people-centred solutions.

What you’ll be part of

• A collaborative and genuinely supportive P&C team where ideas and different perspectives are welcomed
• A P&C function moving beyond transactional HR towards trusted partnership, greater consistency and continuous improvement
• An environment where you can contribute ideas, influence change and help improve how we work
• A values-led organisation focused on making a meaningful difference for the people and communities we support

About you

You’re a P&C professional who enjoys variety, values relationships and wants to play an active role in shaping a modern and effective P&C function.

You’re comfortable moving between operational people matters and more proactive work, and you know that being a great Business Partner is about more than providing an answer. It’s about understanding the situation, applying good judgement and helping leaders find practical ways forward.

You’ll bring:

• Demonstrated experience in a People and Culture, HR Business Partner or similar role supporting a diverse portfolio
• A degree in Human Resources or a related discipline, or progress towards a relevant qualification
