Job Description

For over 12 years, Rise & Shine Kindergarten has been raising the bar in early
childhood education. We're a proudly private, family-owned organisation with
400+ people across 14 centres in NSW and QLD — and we're growing. At the heart
of everything is a simple belief: exceptional learning starts with exceptional
people.

The role

Reporting to the Group HR Manager, you'll be a trusted HR Adviser covering a portfolio of Sydney centres. This is a true 360 HR role — no two days will look the same.

  and onboarding through to performance and offboarding
• Partner with centre leaders as their go-to expert on employment
  legislation, WHS, performance management, and workplace grievances
• Champion HR projects and initiatives that lift engagement,
  strengthen retention, and shape a genuinely great culture
• Support Workers' Compensation and return-to-work cases (training
  provided — no prior experience needed)
• Advise, coach, and support Centre Directors through the performance development and review process cycle including monitoring, management of unsatisfactory performance, performance improvement plans, and development need analysis.
• Prepare and analyse quarterly HR metrics to surface insights and
  drive better decisions

About you

• Proven experience in an HR Adviser or similar generalist role
• Bachelor degree or Diploma in Human Resources
• Comfortable working in an HRIS (Employment Hero experience a plus) and confident pulling reports in Excel
• High integrity, discretion with sensitive matters, and a genuine passion for people and culture
• A natural communicator with real empathy — someone who can connect at every level of the organisation
• Valid driver's licence and a current (or willingness to obtain) WWCC
