About Us

Power to Change Australia exists to help people encounter Jesus today, impact Australia tomorrow, and reach the nations for eternity. We are a passionate Christian movement committed to connecting people to Jesus, building them as disciples, and helping fulfill the Great Commission across Australia and beyond. We invite you to join us in this mission!

With a presence throughout Australia reaching people through our Campus, Youth, Church Movements, Digital, and Global Aid strategies, Power to Change has more than 170 missionaries and a head office in Clayton, Victoria.

The Role

We have an exciting, full-time opportunity for an HR Officer to join our Leadership Development & Human Resources (LDHR) team, reporting to the HR Team Leader.

As HR Officer, you will work closely with both missionaries and employees, administering HR processes and providing guidance across varying workforce arrangements. This includes supporting individuals engaged under traditional employment contracts as well as those serving in missionary roles, each with distinct terms, conditions, and requirements.

This will be a ministry, not just a job, and one you can truly make your own!

Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating employee job descriptions, contract variations, performance review tracking, leave administration, and personnel records.
• Assisting with the missionary lifecycle, including applications, onboarding, ongoing support, and exits.
• Overseeing organisational records management, advising internal stakeholders on record policies and maintaining databases.
• Assisting with event logistics and participating actively in regular team meetings.

What You’ll Bring to the Role:

• Strong understanding of Australian employment law and essential administrative experience.
• A degree in Human Resources or a related field, alongside prior HR experience (desirable).
• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in Google Workspace, database management, and documentation systems.
• Exceptional attention to detail, a strong problem-solving mindset, excellent written and verbal communication, and a commitment to handling sensitive data with high confidentiality.
• A collaborative, flexible, and servant-hearted approach, with the ability to work well both autonomously and within a diverse team.

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to play a vital role in a global movement making an eternal difference.
• A collaborative and friendly office culture, with regular team lunches for fellowship and prayer.
• Being part of a diverse, international network driven by a shared heart for the gospel.
• Access to professional and ministry development opportunities.
• Hybrid working arrangements available.
