Job description

SMAART Recruitment is partnering with a well-established, purpose-led organisation to recruit a HR & Recruitment Officer on a 12-month contract, based in Fawkner.
  
This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on end-to-end recruitment, where you’ll take ownership of hiring across a mix of operational and office-based roles.
  
You’ll work closely with hiring managers across the business, keeping recruitment processes moving and ensuring a smooth candidate experience.
  
Alongside this, you’ll support broader HR coordination and gain exposure to payroll, working within a collaborative and supportive People & Culture team.
  
The role
You’ll play a key role in recruitment while supporting the wider HR function.
  • Managing end-to-end recruitment across operational and office roles
  • Partnering with hiring managers to understand requirements
  • Screening, interviewing and managing candidate processes
  • Coordinating offers, contracts and onboarding
  • Supporting HR administration and employee lifecycle processes
  • Assisting with payroll when required
About you
This role suits someone who enjoys ownership and is confident running recruitment processes.
  
You might come from:
  • An HR Coordinator or HR Admin role with strong recruitment exposure
  • Agency recruitment looking to move internal
  • A junior HR generalist role with end-to-end hiring experience
What matters most:
  • Experience managing recruitment end-to-end (not just coordination)
  • Confidence conducting interviews and providing feedback
  • Strong organisation and the ability to manage multiple roles at once
  • Comfortable working with stakeholders across the business
  • A proactive approach and ability to take ownership
  • A collaborative, team-focused mindset
Payroll exposure is a bonus, with the ability to step in when needed.
  
What’s on offer
  • 12-month fixed-term contract (parental leave cover)
  • Flexible start date
  • Hybrid working (2 days from home)
  • One RDO per month
  • Free onsite parking
  • Supportive, stable and down-to-earth team
