People & Culture Adviser

The Organisation

Bentleys Victoria is a purpose driven Top 12 AFR firm. We are a family of 250+ employees working to deliver exceptional financial solutions that contribue to the success of our people and clients.

The Opportunity

The P&C Adviser role is a 12 month fixed term role with the view to convert into a permanent role.

This role sits at the heart of the Firms people experience. You will manage people projects and processes end-to-end, ensuring they run smoothly, on time and with clarity.

You will report to the Director of People & Culture and work closely within a team of 2 other P&C Advisers to deliver reliable, well-run people processes and ensure our colleagues feel supported to do their best work.

The organisation sets its people strategy at a senior level; your role is to translate that strategy into practice by coordinating delivery, maintaining good rhythm, and ensuring the employee lifecycle feels consistently supportive and fit-for-purpose.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide day-to-day business-facing support, applying HR expertise with professionalism and care
• Be in the drivers seat to facilitate a cultural integration of 5 firms coming together as one
• Run end-to-end recruitment with our talent partners and leaders to build a steady talent pipeline.
• Help present and promote the organisation's Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and employment brand at grad events.
• Oversee onboarding, performance reviews and L&D programs.
• Coordinate payroll changes and compliance with Finance support.
• Streamline and simplify existing HR policies and systems.
• Provide clear, proactive updates to the P&C Director and business line leaders.
• Champion our core values by creating a culture of recognition and feedback
• Oversee and utilise the HRIS (Employment Hero) to manage data, reporting and engagement.

To Be Successful

You will bring well-rounded P&C generalist experience and the confidence to manage an end-to-end remit in a collaborative team. You are organised, thoughtful, proactive and comfortable working closely with senior leaders while maintaining a friendly, supportive approach.

Candidates must have 4-5 years of People & Culture generalist experience to be considered for this role.

It is a great next-step opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, is confident in their HR foundations, and thrives in an environment where they can own their remit without managing a team.

Candidates must have existing Australian work authorisation as visa sponsorship will not be provided.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has 4-5 years of People & Culture generalist experience
• Lived experience in accounting or financial services professional environments (preferred but not essential).
• Has recruitment experience and an eye for employment branding.
• Is confident managing policies, compliance and payroll coordination
• Demonstrates proficiency in Employment Hero or Workday (or similar) HRIS.
• Communicates clearly and builds trust quickly with both leaders and team members.
• Is resilient, adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment.

The Benefits

You will enjoy genuine flexibility in this hybrid role, complemented by a deeply supportive team and a values-led culture. You will have exposure to the Executive Team, access to learning and development opportunities, and the chance to help shape a feedback-rich, growth-oriented employee experience.

As a purpose-driven financial services firm with a long-standing reputation for care, ethics and impact, Bentleys Victoria provides a rewarding environment for someone who values autonomy, collaboration and clarity.
