Placement Consultant – Nanny Recruitment

Part-Time, School Hours | Built for Mums Returning to Work Gracie Boutique Nanny Agency | Malvern, Melbourne (one day WFH) | Part-time, 30 hours/week, Monday–Friday school hours | $53,040 base ($67,184 FTE) + uncapped bonus A role built around school pick-up, not the other way around

You’ve got the skills: the organisation, the communication, the ability to juggle a dozen things at once without dropping the ball. What’s been hard to find is a role that respects the school bell or the daycare cut-off.

At Gracie, our whole business exists to help families make work and family life fit together. We want to do the same for our own team. This role is designed with mums returning to work in mind, on hours that fit around drop-off and pick-up. No guilt, no sneaking out early, no pretending you don’t have kids.

That said, you don’t need to be juggling school runs to apply. If you’re simply after a great part-time role with real earning potential, whether you’re studying, semi-retired, building a side project or just want a better balance, we’d love to hear from you too.

With over 250 staff and growing every day, we’re one of the fastest-growing names in the industry, and we’re just getting started.

We’re fast-paced, ambitious and relationship-driven, and we deliver a premium, personalised experience built on trust, professionalism and genuine care.

About the role

Our BDMs bring the families in, and you take it from there. As our Placement Consultant, you’ll own the full delivery cycle, from the moment a family joins Gracie to the day their perfect nanny starts (and beyond, if a replacement is ever needed).

This is a true 180 recruitment role focused on service, communication and delivery. You’ll manage families like the valued clients they are while running end-to-end recruitment to fill their roles.

- Present shortlists with clear recommendations and qualified candidate profiles

- Keep families informed at every stage, including proactive updates when there’s nothing new to report yet
- Monitor active placements, address concerns before they escalate, and manage replacements end-to-end when needed

- Experience in recruitment, account management, customer success or high-touch client service (agency recruitment highly regarded)
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the discretion to handle sensitive situations. You’re placing people into family homes
- Career break? Not a problem. We care about your skills, not the gap on your resume
- Full Australian working rights (working holiday visas accepted)
