• Guiding Members through workplace concerns, offering practical advice and representing their interests.
• Contributing to bargaining discussions and the development of workplace agreements.
• Reviewing employment conditions, researching industrial issues and assessing potential breaches.
• Progressing cases in accordance with organisational policies and keeping clear, accurate records.
• Working with employers and other stakeholders to resolve issues and uphold agreed obligations.

What you’ll bring

You will be comfortable analysing detailed information, communicating with people in challenging circumstances and managing sensitive matters with care.

Your strengths will include:

• Turning complex legislation, agreements and policies into clear, useful guidance.
• Establishing trust and maintaining constructive professional relationships.
• Preparing well-researched written advice and communicating confidently.
• Prioritising a varied caseload and meeting deadlines.
• Exercising discretion and sound judgement.
