Footprint Placements

Today, we're proud to help organisations find great professionals across education, community services and environmental and conservation roles, while maintaining the personalised service and quality we're known for.

We began by specialising in education recruitment, building strong relationships across regional and remote Australia. As our reputation has grown, clients have increasingly asked us to expand into other meaningful roles alongside education.

Footprint Placements connects schools, community organisations and environmental employers with high-quality professionals across education, early years, community services, environmental and conservation, and education support.

Whether you're recruiting for a short-term contract or a long-term position, we've built a growing network of professionals who are excited about regional and remote opportunities across Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.

With firsthand experience living and working in remote communities across education and environmental conservation, we understand what it takes to thrive in these unique settings. That experience helps us match candidates who are the right fit for the role, the organisation and the community.

Every candidate is carefully screened before joining our talent pool. This includes resume review, internal interview and professional reference checks before their application is presented to you.

Candidates also have access to professional development, including:

  • Cultural Competency Training through the Stronger Smarter Institute

  • Trauma Responsive Practice in Education through the Australian Childhood Foundation (for 3 month plus placements)

  • Mental Health First Aid and First Aid Training (for 6 month plus placements)

We believe that placing the right people in the right roles strengthens organisations, supports communities and creates lasting outcomes. That's why we focus on quality, relationships and finding candidates who will make a genuine contribution.

Whether you're based in a remote Aboriginal community, a regional town, a coastal location, a remote city or on an island, we're ready to help you build your team.

  • Ben is an intelligent person who is very knowledgeable in the remote recruitment space. He understands the demands of the job. and does extensive research to ensure only the best prospects are put forward for the position. He communicates quickly either by phone or by email and is very honest in his recommendations. All the staff that he recommended to me in my role as an acting principal in a remote outback school had the skills and aptitude that was required for them to fill the position successfully. I highly recommend Ben as he certainly is a highly effective and professional operator.
