Human Resources Business Partner – North-West and Ipswich (full-time)

Ramsay Health Care is seeking an experienced Human Resources Business Partner to support two of our major hospitals within the Queensland network - St Andrew’s Ipswich Private Hospital and North West Private Hospital (Everton Park).

This opportunity will suit a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys working close to the business, influencing leaders, and shaping workforce outcomes in a complex healthcare environment.

The Opportunity

As a trusted partner to hospital executives and leaders, you will play a hands-on role across employee and industrial relations, organisational development, workforce planning and cultural initiatives. Operating across two busy hospital sites, you’ll balance strategic input with practical delivery, supporting leaders through change, complexity and growth.

You’ll be part of Ramsay’s broader Queensland People Services team, working collaboratively while maintaining strong local ownership of your portfolio.

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys breadth, autonomy, and real impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner closely with hospital leadership to provide pragmatic, timely advice on employee relations, performance management and complex case matters - please note: you will be required on-site at both the Noth West and Ipswich hospitals a few days per week/in accordance with business requirements
