This role is ideal for a recruitment professional who enjoys building strong stakeholder relationships, managing end-to-end recruitment processes, and contributing to an organisation that makes a genuine difference in the community.

The Opportunity
Working closely with the Talent Partner and broader People Experience team, you will take ownership of recruitment across a diverse frontline workforce. The successful candidate will provide dedicated recruitment support, allowing the wider People team to focus on strategic workforce initiatives, employee experience projects, and talent development programs.

You'll partner with hiring managers across metropolitan and regional locations, delivering a positive candidate experience while supporting attraction, onboarding and retention outcomes.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage end-to-end recruitment from vacancy briefing through to onboarding and commencement.
  • Partner with hiring managers to understand workforce needs and provide practical recruitment advice.
  • Prepare and manage advertisements across a range of sourcing channels.
  • Source, screen and interview candidates across a high-volume frontline portfolio.
  • Coordinate references, compliance requirements and pre-employment checks.
  • Maintain regular communication with candidates throughout the recruitment and onboarding journey.
  • Build and maintain talent pools to support ongoing workforce requirements.
  • Support onboarding activities and new starter follow-up to enhance employee experience and retention.
  • Identify opportunities to improve recruitment processes, candidate experience and attraction strategies.
  • Contribute to broader People Experience initiatives and projects as required.

Recruitment Portfolio
Recruitment activity will predominantly focus on frontline healthcare, care and support service positions, including:
  • Registered Nurses
  • Enrolled Nurses
  • Personal Care Workers
  • Hospitality and Support Services Staff
  • Cleaning and Environmental Services Staff
  • Other operational and care-focused positions

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys managing multiple vacancies while building strong relationships with both candidates and stakeholders.

About You
To be successful in this role, you will bring:
  • Proven end-to-end recruitment experience within high-volume or fast-paced environments.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills.
  • Confidence providing recruitment advice and managing hiring manager expectations.
  • Excellent interviewing and candidate assessment capability.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and work autonomously.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with strong initiative.
  • Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills.
  • A genuine commitment to delivering a positive candidate and hiring manager experience.

Experience recruiting within healthcare, aged care, community services, disability services, hospitality, blue-collar, or other high-volume environments will be highly regarded.

Culture & Environment
The organisation prides itself on fostering a supportive, collaborative and inclusive culture where people genuinely care about the services they provide and the communities they support.

This role would suit someone who combines strong recruitment capability with a warm, approachable communication style, commercial judgement, and a genuine passion for helping people succeed.

What's on Offer
  • Initial six-month contract with strong potential for permanency.
  • $85,000 + superannuation.
  • Full-time Monday to Friday hours.
