Join Our Growing Team at Curiosity Tree

Curiosity Tree Early Education is looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner to join our People & Culture team and help us find the right people for our growing network of centres. This is a work-from-home role, perfect for a skilled recruiter who wants genuine flexibility without stepping away from a fast-paced, high-volume hiring environment.

Reporting to our People & Culture Lead, you’ll own the end-to-end candidate experience — from first screen through to offer — and be the friendly, professional face of Curiosity Tree throughout every candidate’s journey.

Why You’ll Love Being Part of Curiosity Tree

• 100% work from home — permanent part-time role
• Great hourly rate + commission
• Mobile phone eSIM provided (handset not included)
• 16 hours per week, spread over 4 days, with scope to increase to 20 hours during peak periods
• Flexible hours — work around school drop-offs and pick-ups
• Supportive, collaborative People & Culture team who listen and appreciate you

What You’ll Be Doing

• Screening resumes and matching candidates to roles across our childcare centres
• Recommending shortlisted candidates to centre and senior management
• Coordinating face-to-face interviews onsite with management
• Managing pre-employment checks and closing out job vacancies once filled
• Being the main point of contact for candidates, keeping communication prompt, warm and professional

What You Bring

• A minimum of 3 years’ recruitment experience, ideally hiring several people a week in a high-volume environment
• Childcare or teaching sector experience (highly regarded)
• Prior experience using Employment Hero (advantageous)
• A home office with a computer capable of running Teams video calls
• Flexibility to conduct the odd 15-minute screening interview in the evening, if needed
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple roles and candidates at once
• A current Blue Card (Working With Children), or willingness to obtain one, as this is an industry standard requirement

About You

We’re looking for a Recruiter who is:

• Passionate about finding the right people for the early education sector
• Warm, positive and reliable, with a genuine interest in people
• A confident communicator who keeps candidates informed and valued
• Organised and able to manage multiple roles and candidates at once
• A great team player who enjoys working closely with centre management
• Excited to bring energy and professionalism to every candidate’s experience

Ready to Grow With Us?

This is your chance to join a growing organisation, play a key role in building our teams, and make a real impact on the families and children we care for. If you’re excited to help build a warm, connected, and inspiring community, we’d love to meet you!
