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
