The opportunity:

This is a great role for someone who enjoys research, supporting others and producing high-quality written work. The role will also appeal to those who are comfortable working in a small business environment and operating independently. The main focus of the role will, at least in the initial stages, be to support our experienced legal practitioners and contribute to a wide range of ER/IR deliverables.

  • Permanent part-time (2 days per week initially)
  • Hybrid, with in-office attendance in Chatswood each Wednesday
  • $60–$65 per hour plus super (indicative)

Key responsibilities:

Depending on your experience, your work will include:

  • Supporting legal advisors with employment relations research
  • Drafting and updating employment contracts, enterprise agreements, policies and procedures
  • Drafting client correspondence, written responses and client reports
  • Contributing to blog/newsletter articles and supporting social media content

About you:

You’ll likely bring:

  • Strong experience in employment relations / HR advisory work (3 years plus is indicative), combined with a sound knowledge of employment-related legislation
  • Demonstrated ability to produce clear, high-quality written documents
  • Experience drafting employment-related agreements, policies and procedures
  • An understanding of enterprise agreements
  • A natural curiosity, supported by strong research skills
  • The ability to work independently, be highly organised and maintain strong attention to detail
  • Exceptional reliability and a strong customer service focus
  • Flexibility to take on additional hours of work as and when required (preferred, not essential)
  • Exposure to the SCHADS Award (preferred, not essential)

Qualifications: Tertiary qualifications in a relevant field (such as ER/IR, HR or Law) are preferred, combined with suitable experience.

Why ABWS?

You’ll be joining a supportive, specialist team that values practical solutions, professional standards, and strong workplace relationships. If you’re looking for a role where your writing, judgement and ER foundations are genuinely valued, and you enjoy variety, this could be a great fit.
