Who are we?

Avina Therapy is one of Australia's leading allied health providers, supporting children, adults and families through a range of therapy and disability services across the country.

Following a recent merger and rebrand, the organisation is entering an exciting new chapter. With recruitment now operating under a state-based model and continued demand for allied health professionals nationwide, they're looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Advisor to join the team and provide additional support during a period of parental leave cover.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a collaborative People & Culture team where the foundations are already in place.

You'll inherit structured recruitment processes, established templates and supportive leadership, allowing you to focus on what you do best - partnering with hiring managers and delivering a great candidate experience!

Who are you?

You're an end-to-end recruiter who enjoys building relationships and keeping multiple vacancies moving at once.

Ideally, you'll bring experience recruiting within allied health and already understand roles such as Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Behaviour Support Practitioners or Social Workers. That industry knowledge will allow you to hit the ground running and quickly build credibility with hiring managers!

If your experience comes from the broader healthcare, disability or community services sector, we'd still love to hear from you. Whether you've worked in-house or agency, you're confident managing recruitment from briefing through to onboarding and enjoy partnering with hiring managers to find great talent.

You're adaptable, organised and proactive, happy to work in a changing environment and not afraid to pick up the phone. Most importantly, you're someone who enjoys building relationships and delivering a great candidate experience.

Day to day

No two days will look exactly the same, but your responsibilities will include:

• Manage end-to-end recruitment across allied health, operational and corporate support roles
• Partner closely with hiring managers across your allocated state to manage recruitment activity
• Source, screen and engage candidates through a variety of recruitment channels
• Conduct phone screens and coordinate interviews with hiring managers
• Prepare offers, edit employment contracts and coordinate onboarding
• Ensure compliance documentation is completed throughout the recruitment process
• Build and maintain talent pipelines for future hiring needs
• Manage recruitment activity through JobAdder and internal systems
• Support recruitment across metro, regional and remote locations as required
• Deliver an exceptional experience for both candidates and hiring managers

What's in your toolkit?

Must-haves:

• Previous Talent Acquisition or internal recruitment experience
• Experience managing end-to-end recruitment across multiple vacancies
• Strong stakeholder management and candidate engagement skills
• Excellent organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities

Highly regarded:

• Experience recruiting within allied health (highly preferred)
• Healthcare, disability, NDIS or community services recruitment experience
• Experience recruiting for regional or hard-to-fill locations
• Experience using JobAdder or similar ATS platforms
• Current NDIS Worker Screening Check and Working With Children Check (or willingness to obtain)

Why this role?

• Join a national organisation making a genuine difference in people's lives
• Flexible hybrid working from either Melbourne or Sydney
• Supportive manager and structured recruitment processes already in place
• Own your own state portfolio and build strong stakeholder relationships
• Opportunity to work across a broad range of allied health and corporate recruitment
• Be part of an organisation going through an exciting period of growth and transformation

If you're looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition role where you can make an immediate impact while enjoying flexibility, autonomy and a genuinely supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
