As Director for our Sydney Branch, I lead our Life Sciences, Operations and Business Support Divisions and personally recruit senior and executive level roles across healthcare with a strong network in Supply Chain and Procurement.
I have been in the recruitment industry since 2005 and have been a part of the Healthcare Professionals Group since early 2011.
I have dedicated teams specialising in all levels, across all disciplines, in permanent, contract and temporary recruitment within healthcare.
I regularly support clients by presenting market insights, training and coaching on recruitment best practice and coach candidates on resume writing and interview techniques.
