DESCRIPTION

WHO ARE WE?

The Rev. Bill Crews Foundation (BCF) is a registered charity dedicated to addressing the causes and effects of homelessness and poverty. Through food provision, social welfare, and education support, we empower individuals to reclaim their dignity and independence.

This role will also contribute to the implementation of policies and procedures across the organisation and within the Employment Hero (EH) system, ensuring consistency, clarity, and effective application of HR practices throughout.

This position is ideal for someone with 1–2 years of HR experience, who is looking to take the next step in their career and gain exposure to a variety of HR functions in a supportive, purpose-driven environment.

This role will be a full-time, 12-month fixed-term contract.
