About Astra HR
Meet Rachael
I'm Rachael, and for over 20 years I've been helping businesses navigate the often tricky world of people management.
I take great pride in everything I do and strongly believe that if people are valued and recognised for the difference they make, then they are encouraged to achieve more.
I've worked at all levels of HR, from operational roles to senior leadership, which means I understand both the day-to-day challenges and the bigger picture.
My approach is always practical, human, and focused on what's best for both your business and your people.
Why I Started Astra HR
Having a long career in HR, I want to provide businesses with HR support that's personal, professional, and tailored to their needs.
I know how stressful people matters can be, and I wanted to create a service where business owners feel confident, supported, and free to focus on running their business, knowing their HR challenges are in safe hands.
My Approach
At Astra HR, I don't just give technical advice, I help you make commercially sound decisions while keeping your team treated fairly.
I work closely with you, whether it's a single employee issue or a larger project like restructuring, ensuring every solution is practical, compliant, and human.
I aim for 100% satisfaction with every engagement, and build a trusted partnership where you feel reassured, confident, and supported every step of the way.
What Sets Me Apart
- Flexible support - hire me by the hour or for a full project
- Highly experienced - with over two decades working in HR, I've dealt with it all
- Unique perspective - combining operational know-how with senior leadership insight
- Genuine human approach - real solutions for real people and businesses
