People & Culture Manager
Salary: $134,400k-156,800k inlc. superannuation + Wellness Perks
Employment Arrangement: Full-Time
Location: Alexandria, Sydney
Reports to: CEO
About Co-Hive
Co-Hive is a purpose-driven and fast-growing organisation based in Alexandria, Sydney, dedicated to supporting young adults with disability aged 17–35 as they transition from school to adult life. In just 18 months, Co-Hive has emerged as a game-changing service — winning “Best New Disability Service” at the Australian Disability Service Awards 2024 and gaining national recognition for doing things differently.
We’re here to fill a critical gap. Too often, young people with disability leave school full of dreams, but quickly lose direction as they face a system that isn’t built for them. Co-Hive is rewriting that story — helping participants build skills, confidence, and independence through hands-on, person-led programs that lead to real outcomes in open employment, social connection, and independent living.
Our model is bold, creative, and grounded in real relationships. We co-design every program with participants and their families and work closely with employers, educators, and community partners to build pathways that truly empower. Our work is guided by the core values of self-determination, inclusion, and possibility.
With strong demand and a growing reputation, Co-Hive is now preparing to expand across NSW and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to join a team at the forefront of change — and help shape the future of an organisation already making a profound difference in people’s lives.
About the Role
We’re seeking a highly experienced People & Culture leader to join our management and executive team. You’ll bring a strategic, commercially minded approach to workforce planning, risk mitigation, and organisational development — while championing a safe, inclusive, and high-performing culture.
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit back — we need a hands-on builder who’s ready to get things moving quickly. You’ll be responsible for designing and leading Co-Hive’s recruitment, onboarding, and workforce development strategy from the ground up. As the first dedicated People & Culture Manager, you’ll have a rare opportunity to shape Co-Hive’s internal culture, hiring frameworks, and team structures to support our long-term goals.
You’ll work closely with the CEO and leadership team, leading the people and culture function across all departments and overseeing a full-time experienced HR Assistant and Hub and Social Engagement Coordinator. You will also oversee the implementation of our HRIS (Employment Hero) and manage compliance across SCHADS Award and NDIS standards. In addition, you’ll lead the successful application and roll-out of Co-Hive’s Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) status — including unlocking staff benefits and salary packaging opportunities.
We are a small but mighty team — currently fewer than 10 full-time staff — with strong values, big energy, and bold plans for growth. This is a true leadership position with significant growth potential. You’ll be fundamental to Co-Hive’s success and expansion over the coming years.

Proven experience building HR functions, systems, and processes from the ground up
Strong working knowledge of employment law, compliance, and industrial relations (SCHADS/NDIS knowledge ideal)
