In healthcare and education, securing a role is only the first step - thriving in it is where the real success lies. At Prospero, we believe recruitment doesn’t end once an offer is signed. Instead, that’s where genuine support begins.
For teachers, nurses, and allied health professionals across Australia and New Zealand, the “after-hire” journey - everything that follows your placement - is what determines whether a job becomes a fulfilling, long-term career move or just a short-term stop.
Starting a new role, especially in a new school, clinic, or country, can be daunting. We understand that the first few weeks are crucial. That’s why our consultants stay in touch to make sure you’re settling in well - checking on things like orientation, support from your new manager, and how the transition feels both professionally and personally.
For international candidates, we go one step further - guiding you through relocation, teacher registration or professional licensing, and connecting you with others who’ve made similar moves. We know that feeling supported early helps build confidence and belonging.
Healthcare and education professionals are naturally caring people - but they often forget to look after themselves. Burnout, long hours, and heavy workloads are common across both sectors. We talk about these realities openly, helping candidates set realistic expectations before starting and encouraging discussions around flexible or hybrid working, where possible.
We also make sure candidates know about well-being initiatives, employee support programmes, and professional communities they can tap into. Your success is not just about performance - it’s about balance, purpose, and staying energised in a role you love.
Many of the people we work with don’t just want a job - they want growth, progression, and a clear sense of direction. Through ongoing conversations and career check-ins, we help candidates explore next steps - whether that’s leadership opportunities in education, post-graduate study, or pathways to advanced clinical roles in healthcare.
Even after placement, we continue to share updates about courses, certifications, and vacancies that align with your long-term goals. The goal is simple: we want you to feel like you’re moving forward, not standing still.
Recruitment is built on relationships. The most successful placements happen when there’s trust, transparency, and genuine connection between the candidate, the recruiter, and the organisation. We stay in touch long after placement because we want to know that the move was right for you - and if not, to help you find the right one next time.
Australia and New Zealand both face ongoing workforce shortages in healthcare and education. But while filling roles is important, the real difference is made when people stay, grow, and contribute long term. Retention isn’t just an employer’s responsibility - it’s about equipping candidates with awareness, realistic expectations, and ongoing support.
At Prospero, we’re proud to support candidates beyond recruitment - from the first conversation through to long after they’ve started. Because for us, recruitment isn’t about transactions. It’s about people, relationships, and journeys that last.
