Employment Advocate - Sacked Kiwi

 Us?

We are an Employment Advocacy firm that represents employees in personal grievances and other employment related issues. We balance the scales in employment disputes and take great pride from our work in assisting our clients secure equitable outcomes. We proudly cover the entire country and are extraordinarily busy.

We value our Values and believe we bring a lot more than just advice and solutions to the employment landscape. We understand employment is far more than just a job and often defines us. If things aren't going well at work, it can have a profound impact.

So we in turn do our best to create a fantastic place to work. We are always working on it and value everyone’s opinion on what makes work engaging.

We are flexible to your needs and restrictions. We get family and activities and understand that you'll need to be elsewhere at times. We don't clock watch, we just focus on results. Your hours will work for you, that'll work for us in return.

We are growing and need more stars to join our team. That’s why we need you.

You?

We are less interested in your experience and more in your personality. Are you keen and eager to learn?

You will be interested in employment law or have worked in HR.

If you have a professional degree, like law, that will be a huge advantage but is not critical.

You will have an interest in helping people, as this role is all about that. You will have a strong value base and be empathetic. We deal with people who are often under great strain so you will need to be caring and be able to work effectively under pressure.

You will have the ability to communicate with a diverse client base. You will also need strong communication and negotiation skills.

You will be able to self-manage your workload, but also work as part of a team and be super organised.

You will be confident and be able to work in a fast paced environment.

You will be motivated to succeed and have a strong work ethic.

You will have a great sense of humour and an open approach. You will have a strong personality and add much to our team culture.

What?

Plainly put, you will represent clients from across New Zealand who have suffered unjustified actions, mostly dismissals, through the grievance process. From raising a grievance through to closure, be that as a settlement or at a hearing.

You will be drafting Personal Grievances and be responsible for communicating with both clients and employers. You will be focused upon representing clients at mediations and the Employment Relations Authority.

The role will be varied and will have significant scope – it will be an excellent opportunity to experience many different aspects of the grievance process.

This role can be part-time or full-time, depending on you and what you are looking for. We are willing to negotiate hours for the right person.

The role is office-based but there is flexibility to work from home at times.

$$$

Well this will depend on you. Some people like incentives and/or bonuses. Some people don't.

You might like a salary or an hourly rate. You might work part-time or full-time.

You may be highly experienced and bring a tremendous amount to the table. You may be young but filled with drive, a capacity to learn and filled with zeal.

The point is, we will tailor your package to you.

We do offer a gym membership and any other tools you need to be a highly tuned and happy individual.

So if it sounds like this role will give you happy Mondays and you can bring some interesting aspects of you to the table, please submit your cover letter and CV to [email protected].
