Who are Zenith Search?

Zenith Search was founded 15 years ago with a clear vision: to provide the highest level of professional recruitment services while removing the unnecessary politics, red tape and heavy administration often associated with other recruitment businesses.

We have built a business that allows recruiters and leaders to focus on what they do best – building relationships, delivering outcomes and growing something that is genuinely their own. Every decision regarding investment is through the eyes of “what’s best for the recruiter” as the founders and senior leadership team like to continue to bill and be involved in growing the business.

Our approach is collaborative and mature. We believe in backing capable people to build and lead, not managing minute by minute or relying on rigid KPI targets. That said, our environment does require ownership, accountability and a self-driven approach.

You will not be on your own. Our experienced leadership team, including partners who have built our Civil Construction, Mining and Resources divisions from the ground up will provide support, guidance, coaching and mentoring as you establish and grow Aged Care business.

The opportunity

Zenith Search has built a strong reputation and track record within Construction, blue collar, Healthcare, Mining and Resources recruitment across Australia. We are now looking for an experienced Associate Director, Manager or Senior Leader to continue and drive growth of our dedicated Aged Care recruitment division.

This is a genuine opportunity to build on previous success and create something of your own within an established, well-resourced business – leveraging Zenith’s brand, systems, administration support and existing network, while bringing your own sector expertise, relationships and leadership to help grow Aged Care back into a thriving division.

Why Zenith?

We offer some of the highest levels of administration and systems support in the industry. Resume formatting, reference checks, invoicing, debt chasing and other non-recruitment administration are handled for you, so you can focus on building the division. We also have a strong commitment to drive AI and invest in platforms or software that helps make the life of our recruiters able to focus on building relationships, not filling forms and paperwork.

That means you can spend more time on what matters most:

• Continue building the client and candidate network for Aged Care
• Recruiting, developing and growing a team under you as the division scales
• Filling roles and establishing Zenith as a trusted name in Aged Care recruitment
• Growing your own earnings alongside the division
• Shaping the long-term direction of a business unit that is genuinely yours to build

What’s on offer?

• Genuine ownership and leadership of the Aged Care Division
• Large investment in staff development and training
• In-house coaching and mentoring from partners who have built divisions before
• Zenith’s existing systems, brand and administration support from day one
• Cutting-edge technology to optimise recruitment processes
• Industry-low monthly thresholds, meaning you access commission sooner
• Transparent commission structure from 15% to 30%
• Competitive base salary based on experience, plus a structure that rewards divisional growth
• Modern office in a convenient location next to a major train station
• Parking options available
• Collaborative and experienced senior team, open to mentoring
• Career growth pathway with a 7-year development plan
• Flexibility in how you build out your team and structure the division as it grows
• Monthly team lunches, great banter and a positive team atmosphere
• Up to 25 days annual leave for long-term staff
• Up to 12 additional Rostered Days Off, increasing potential days off to 37 per year
• Option to work remotely one day per week for experienced team members
• A transparent, supportive and professional environment

About you: Ideally, you will bring:

• Proven experience in recruitment leadership, ideally with experience building or scaling a desk, team or division
• Existing knowledge of, or relationships within, the Aged Care sector – or a strong, transferable track record from another sector
• A genuine desire to build something of your own and see it through
• Commercial understanding of recruitment and what it takes to grow a new market
• Ability to build quality, long-term client and candidate relationships
• Strong understanding of where you can add value in a growth phase
• Sense of urgency and a self-motivated approach
• Accountability, professionalism and strong business ethics

You may not have built a division from scratch before, and that’s okay. We believe attitude, accountability, willingness to learn and passion to succeed are just as important as a specific track record. We can provide the direction, structure and support to help you grow it.

We place great importance on reputation, service delivery, business ethics and the ability to build lasting relationships as the face of Zenith’s Aged Care offering.

What you’ll receive

Industry leading base, incentives, profit share and STIP, 4-5 weeks annual leave, 12 x RDO’s per year, and the opportunity to build and lead your own team within a close-knit, experienced and growing business.
