Join the ECMS Team: Recruitment and Employee Experience Advisor

Are you passionate about making a difference in your community?

At ECMS, we're proud to be a not-for-profit community organisation that's all about making a difference in the lives of children and families. With 75 kindergartens and early learning services across Melbourne, our team of 1000 dedicated people work together to create safe, joyful, and enriching experiences for 7,500 children every week.

We're on the lookout for a passionate and motivated Recruitment and Employee Experience Advisor to join our awesome People Team!

In this diverse and dynamic role, you'll go beyond traditional recruitment. You'll play a key role in attracting and welcoming amazing educators into our kindergartens and early learning centres, while also supporting existing staff and contributing to exciting people projects. It's a fantastic opportunity to grow your HR career in a supportive, purpose-driven environment where your work truly matters.

This is a permanent, full-time position (38 hours per week), based in our Northcote office with flexible hybrid working arrangements.

What You'll Bring

• Initiative, drive, and a collaborative spirit.
• A genuine interest in people and a belief in the power of great educators to shape lives.
• Transferable skills and perspectives from your studies or prior experience - HR experience is a bonus but not essential.
• At least 3 years' experience in a customer-focused role, with strong interpersonal skills.
• The ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines with a solutions-focused mindset.
• Outstanding organisation and attention to detail - you take pride in getting the small things right.
• A working knowledge of HR legislation or employee rights is a plus (but not a dealbreaker!).

What You'll Do

• Manage end-to-end recruitment for our early learning and kindergarten services. Have a portfolio of your own services meaning you can build genuine connections within the community.
• Be customer focused. You will partner with managers to attract top talent and create a positive, seamless onboarding experience.
• Craft engaging job ads and position descriptions.
• Prepare and manage employment contracts and documentation, ensuring compliance with your attention to detail.
• Bring a natural orientation for continuous improvement through better use of technology.
