Great recruitment doesn't just fill a vacancy. It gives our leaders confidence that they have the right people to deliver exceptional care.

Join a passionate and highly collaborative recruitment team supportingNursing leaders and operational teams across Monash Health.

This is an opportunity for an experienced recruiter who wants to be more than a process facilitator. You'll become a trusted recruitment partner to our Nursing Managers and operational leaders — understanding their workforce needs, providing practical and contemporary recruitment advice, and helping them make great hiring decisions.

Our team takes enormous pride in the service we provide. We have built strong relationships with our business through being responsive, knowledgeable, consistent and solutions focused, and we're looking for someone who shares that commitment.

About the Role

As a Recruitment Specialist supporting Nursing, you'll manage a dedicated portfolio and work closely with Nursing Managers, senior nursing leaders and operational teams to understand their recruitment priorities and provide an end-to-end recruitment service.

But this role is about much more than moving a requisition through a system.

You'll use your recruitment expertise to guide, influence and support hiring managers, helping them navigate recruitment confidently while ensuring our processes remain fair, consistent, efficient and aligned with best practice.

You will:

• Partner with Nursing Managers and operational leaders across your portfolio
• Provide trusted, practical advice on recruitment strategy and best practice
• Support managers with attraction, advertising, sourcing and candidate engagement
• Guide effective shortlisting, selection and appointment practices
• Help managers navigate complex or challenging recruitment situations
• Balance high-volume recruitment activity with urgent workforce priorities
• Build strong talent pipelines and identify opportunities to improve attraction
• Champion a positive candidate and hiring manager experience
• Work collaboratively across the recruitment team to share workload, knowledge and solutions
• Contribute ideas that continually improve how we recruit at Monash Health

You'll have autonomy and ownership of your portfolio, but you'll never be working in isolation. This a full time role. For the first six months you'll work almost exclusively at a Monash Health site, maximising your opportunity to learn \"the way we do things around here\". Once you've settled in and demonstrate effective, independent management of your dedicated portfolio, we can offer some flexibility in work locations for part of your work week.

About You

You're an experienced recruiter who enjoys being close to the business and understands that the best way to build partnerships is in person.

You don't simply wait for a manager to tell you what they need — you ask questions, understand the problem they're trying to solve and use your recruitment expertise to help determine the best way forward.

You'll bring:

• Strong end-to-end recruitment experience, including facilitating interviews and group assessments
• Confidence partnering with managers and senior stakeholders
• A genuine commitment to recruitment best practice
• Excellent judgement and the confidence to provide considered advice
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A responsive, customer-focused approach without compromising process or quality
• The ability to build credibility and trusted relationships quickly
• Initiative, curiosity and a continuous-improvement mindset
• Resilience and composure in a busy, changing environment
• A collaborative approach and genuine willingness to support your teammates

Experience within healthcare, nursing or high-volume recruitment would be highly regarded, but equally important is your ability to understand your business, build trusted partnerships and deliver recruitment services you're proud to put your name to.
