You’ve built your foundation in recruitment. Now you’re ready to channel it into something more meaningful.

 

You know your way around a perm desk. You’ve developed strong instincts for what makes a placement work, for the candidate, the client, and the long-term fit. Now you’re looking for a role where you can deepen your impact, grow your career, and feel proud of the sector you’re contributing to.

At ANZUK Education, we place permanent educators and leaders into Early Childhood services that help children thrive. It’s high-quality, human-centred recruitment, backed by strong systems and surrounded by people who genuinely care.

If you’re commercially capable, emotionally intelligent, and ready to step into a role with clear growth potential, this could be your next great move.​

Why you’ll love it here

This is one of the rare environments where progression is based on potential, not just tenure. Whether you're looking to grow into a senior role or take the first step toward leadership, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

• A values-led, team-oriented culture—no egos, just great people who want to do great work

• Wellbeing initiatives including mentoring, mindfulness, and volunteering

• Global career pathways across Australia, the UK, US, NZ and beyond

What you’ll be doing

You’ll manage a warm permanent desk within the Early Childhood sector, partnering with centres across Brisbane and surrounding regions. Some clients are long-standing, others are growing, giving you room to expand your portfolio while delivering immediate value.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Managing the end-to-end recruitment process for permanent Early Childhood roles

• Building trusted partnerships with centre directors and operators - mixing new business development and existing client management.

• Advising and supporting educators through career transitions

• Writing job ads, managing pipelines, and maintaining data integrity
