Care to Make a Difference?

Join a team of good people doing good work — with heart, intention, and impact. At Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, we believe in the power of care to change lives — starting with our people. If you're someone who believes in doing meaningful work that matters, we’d love to meet you.

About the Opportunity

This is more than a legal role — it’s an opportunity to be the voice of care, fairness, and progress across our organisation. As part of the Workplace Relations team within our broader HR function, you will be a key expert in all things Employment Relations (ER) and Industrial Relations (IR).

You’ll join a close-knit team of highly experienced employment lawyers, working together to advise on a broad range of workplace matters, from collective bargaining and dispute resolution to change management and performance processes. Every day is dynamic — and every challenge, an opportunity to make a difference.

You’ll also lead proactive initiatives that strengthen our relationships with unions and support capability-building across our leadership teams, playing a critical role in shaping how we live our values.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Providing clear, timely legal advice on complex ER / IR issues
  • Supporting change management and large-scale organisational design
  • Advising internal HR stakeholders on legal compliance and best practice
  • Drafting and reviewing key documents — from legal submissions to contracts
  • Navigating investigations, personal grievances, and disciplinary processes
  • Contributing to strategic projects and negotiation strategies that serve both people and business outcomes

What You’ll Bring

  • A law degree and must hold (or be eligible to hold) a legal practicing certificate
  • 3 - 6 years’ PQE in Employment Law, ER / IR, preferably in an in-house legal team or law firm environment
  • A solutions-oriented mindset, balancing legal precision with commercial acumen
  • Experience mentoring or upskilling internal stakeholders
  • A calm, pragmatic approach to complex and sensitive situations
  • Proven ability to build trust, collaborate, and influence at all levels
  • Working With Us

    We care deeply — about our people, our patients, and our communities. That’s why we offer a truly supportive, inclusive environment with great perks and plenty of room to grow :

  • Employee share purchase scheme
  • Bi-annual Profit share
  • Life, Critical illness and Income Protection Insurance
  • Discounted Health Insurance
  • Active Social clubs & community groups
  • In-house training programs from external providers
  • Purchasing privileges for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare products
  • Banking and Insurance discounts
  • Free Parking – both covered and open car park spaces
  • Beautiful campus with green spaces
  • Subsidised Café’s with Barista service onsite
  • Annual Salary Review
  • About Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

    We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of world-class medical devices and systems, proudly headquartered in New Zealand and exporting to over 120 countries.
