About Youturn
Youturn is a community-based not-for-profit charity providing social, community, and mental health and wellbeing services across Australia. With more than 36 years of experience, we are trusted to support individuals and communities through life’s toughest challenges, empowering people of all ages to live safe, connected, and meaningful lives.
Driven by compassion and equity, we support people in the areas of homelessness, community and family support, mental health, and support after suicide loss.
To support this work, we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner who is not only strong in recruitment delivery, but who genuinely enjoys operating as a trusted partner. Someone who understands that great hiring comes from clarity, judgement and values-led decision-making; not just filling roles.
This is a hands-on, autonomous role where you’ll lead recruitment across the organisation, partner closely with leaders, and help shape meaningful experiences from recruitment through to onboarding and induction.
If you’re a relationship-first recruiter who enjoys advising managers, strengthening capability, improving systems and finding the right people for meaningful work, this is a role where your impact will be felt well beyond the hire.
This is a 12-month fixed-term opportunity, supporting a parental leave backfill.
What You'll Bring
- Proven experience operating as a trusted recruitment partner in complex, fast-paced environments with competing priorities.
- Strong ability to build trust, influence and partner with leaders and stakeholders.
- Sound judgement and confidence advising managers on recruitment decisions.
- Experience using structured, evidence-based assessment approaches.
- High attention to detail, strong organisation skills and comfort working autonomously.
- Confidence operating in regulated environments, ensuring recruitment decisions and checks are defensible and compliant.
- Experience working with recruitment systems and improving processes.
- A genuine interest in improving how recruitment is done, not just maintaining the status quo.
- Alignment with values-led, inclusive and ethical recruitment practices.
Why Youturn?
We invest in our people so they can support others. We offer:
- Wellness leave
- Generous salary packaging
- Professional development budget
- Annual leave loading
- Employee Assistance Program
- Corporate fitness discounts
…and more.
We'd love to meet you!
