Job description

At Summerset, from the moment we start developing a village to when our residents call it home, it’s the passion and dedication of our people that brings our villages to life. We are one team united by being part of something bigger – to bring the best of life to our residents.

People & Culture Advisor

We’re looking for a People & Culture Advisor to join our dynamic team at Summerset’s Head Office in Wellington. As part of our large and collaborative People & Culture team, you’ll play a key role in supporting leaders across the Village Operations Business Unit. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career in a fast‑paced environment where your expertise will help shape a positive and inclusive workplace.

Your Day‑to‑Day Will Include

  • Deliver fair, consistent, and evidence‑based ER advice, supporting leaders through issues and change management initiatives.
  • Partner with leaders to build capability and embed best practice across all aspects of people and culture.
  • Collaborate with our P&C Shared Services and Centres of Excellence to implement strategic people initiatives.
  • Champion employee engagement and initiatives that enhance psychological safety and wellbeing.

About You

You’re an experienced People & Culture professional who thrives on building strong relationships and providing trusted advice.

You’ll Also Bring

  • Experience in employee relations, including supporting disciplinary processes and ensuring compliance with employment law.
  • A strong generalist HR background with exposure to performance management, and organisational development.
  • Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills – you’ll be confident advising and coaching leaders.
  • A proactive, solution‑focused approach and a genuine passion for creating a great employee experience.
  • Why Summerset

    At Summerset, we believe diversity strengthens our team and enriches the care we provide. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life—including those with transferable skills from other industries. You may not tick all the requirements, and that’s okay; we value what you bring to the table and look at the whole individual. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported to thrive. Equal opportunity is at the heart of how we recruit, and we encourage you to bring your unique perspective and passion to our team.

    Benefits

  • Flexible working hours including two work from home days each week
  • Free Southern Cross health insurance (covering up to 75% of charges for GPs, dentists, physios and more)
  • Professional development and career progression opportunities tailored to you
  • Birthday Leave
  • Next Steps

    Applications for this role will close on the 12th of December. This role may close early due to an increased number of applications – apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
