Talent Acquisition Partner

We’re looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner who genuinely enjoys recruitment and wants to have a real impact.

At UPA Aged Care Solutions, you’ll work across a broad mix of clinical, operational and corporate roles. Some vacancies will be straightforward. Others will need a bit more creativity, persistence and good recruitment know-how.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be trusted to manage your vacancies, build strong relationships with hiring managers and candidates, and use a mix of sourcing methods to find the right people.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to how we improve recruitment across UPA – from workforce planning and talent pipelines through to candidate experience, sourcing strategy and recruitment data.

As part of the team, you’ll have access to:

Not-for-profit salary packaging – up to $15,900 for living expenses plus $2,650 for meals and entertainment

Hybrid working – 3 days in the office and 2 from home, with flexibility to choose your office days

Access to UPA’s Wellness Program

Employee Assistance Program

Ongoing learning, development and career opportunities

A supportive team where your ideas and recruitment experience are genuinely valued

Plenty of variety across a large organisation rather than recruiting the same roles every day

UPA is a values-based, not-for-profit aged care organisation that has been supporting communities for more than 80 years.

Managing recruitment end-to-end, from taking the brief through to offer

Proactively sourcing candidates through LinkedIn, SEEK, direct approaches and talent pools

Building pipelines for difficult and recurring vacancies

Partnering with hiring managers and providing practical recruitment advice

Screening, interviewing and managing candidates throughout the process

Writing engaging job advertisements and selecting the right sourcing channels

Managing multiple vacancies and priorities at the same time

Using recruitment data and market insights to help guide decisions

Supporting workforce planning and continuous improvement initiatives

Maintaining a strong candidate experience from first contact through to onboarding

You’ll already have solid recruitment experience and be comfortable managing your own workload.

You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you do need to be someone who takes ownership, follows things through and is prepared to change approach when a role is proving difficult.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

Strong end-to-end recruitment experience

Confidence with proactive sourcing and direct candidate engagement

Experience managing multiple vacancies at once

Strong stakeholder management skills

The confidence to provide advice and challenge a hiring manager when needed

Good judgement around candidate markets, salaries and sourcing channels

Experience using LinkedIn, SEEK and an ATS – PageUp experience would be a bonus

Strong organisation and attention to detail

A relevant qualification in HR, Business, Psychology or a related discipline

Healthcare or aged care recruitment experience would be helpful, but it isn’t essential. We’re more interested in finding a strong recruiter who learns quickly, builds relationships and knows how to find good people.

We work on a 3 days in the office / 2 days working from home model.

The three office days are required, but you choose which days work best for you and your week .

You’ll be based with our Corporate team in Wahroonga and work closely with leaders and facilities across UPA.

You’ll be joining a busy Talent Acquisition function where we’re focused on getting good outcomes without making recruitment more complicated than it needs to be.

There’s plenty happening across UPA, so this role will suit someone who enjoys variety, likes solving recruitment problems and wants the freedom to contribute rather than simply work through a queue of requisitions.

You’ll be supported, but you’ll also be trusted to own your work and get on with it.

If you enjoy recruitment, like building relationships and get a bit of satisfaction from finding the person everyone else said was impossible to find, we’d like to hear from you.
