As People and Culture Lead, Caroline’s role is to lead and manage the Human Resources function for the Foundation. This involves managing all aspects of recruitment, people management and development.

I’m passionate about…

I am passionate about developing positive opportunities for people in the work that they do and how they work. I am also passionate about supporting and collaborating with my colleagues to create positive and meaningful social and environmental change, and to continue to cultivate a culture of giving.

My interest in people and in diversity, desire to minimise inequality and to influence positive outcomes for both individuals and organisations was formed during my sociology undergraduate degree and has continued throughout my personal and professional life.

My experience

Following a career in professional and financial services and completing a Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management, I later pursued my continued interest in education as a mature age student and parent and completed a Graduate Diploma in Primary Education, working as a teacher for several years before returning to Human Resources. I have worked in all areas of human resources across the corporate, financial, professional services, and not-for-profit sectors, with a particular focus on recruitment, learning and development, coaching and leadership development, policy development, project management and developing HR functions.
