Placement Specialist (Administrative Assistant)

Behind every successful doctor placement is someone who ensures the moving parts align seamlessly. At Medrecruit, that someone is our Placement Specialist (Administrative Assistant) – a role dedicated to precision, process, and delivering an exceptional experience for our doctors and healthcare partners.

As a Placement Specialist, you will have one‑of‑a‑kind problems to solve in this dynamic role! You will have strong administration experience, a background in event planning, travel coordination, or hospitality, and love structure and processes. You crave order in your work and take pride in dotting all the 'i's' and crossing all the 't's' before going home for the day. You are also the type of person who can deal with a last‑minute curve ball and re‑prioritise your tasks to get whatever needs doing done.

Be based in our new, modern offices in Gold Coast, Australia or Queenstown, New Zealand, with hybrid work options available after initial training.
