HR Business Partner

About us

For Care is a NDIS registered disability support provider and aged care services support provider helping aged care and disabilities customers across Southeast Queensland and Toowoomba to live a more fulfilling life. The experienced team offers a full suite of disability support services including short-term accommodation, in-home support, community access, day programs, Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) to suit every need. The organisation also offers personalised NDIS plan management and support coordination through Disability Plan Services for anyone needing a helping hand to manage their NDIS plan funding and support.

And we're growing. We're adding services, reaching more communities and welcoming more team members. That's great news for the people we support. It also means we need an HR Business Partner who wants to help us grow the right way.

For profit. For purpose. We're proud of both.

We run a commercially sharp business, and we do it for a very human reason. When we grow sustainably, more people with disability and more older Australians get support they can trust. If you want your HR expertise to lead somewhere that matters, keep reading.
