Living and working on the Northern Beaches is what we're all about at Peninsula Personnel. We pride ourselves on being able to find fabulous permanent and part-time permanent positions for local people with local businesses and organisations. Just one of the many benefits of working close to home is less time spent commuting, which means you have more time to spend with family and friends, catch some waves at the beach and soak up the last of the day's sunshine, workout at the gym or go shopping.
Permanent Positions
Permanent positions suit people who are available to work full-time hours, for example Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm. We provide Permanent positions for many different roles and industries, ranging from junior office roles through to senior appointments such as Chief Financial Officer.
Permanent Part-time Positions
Permanent Part-time positions suit people who prefer to work three full days per week or five days a week during school hours. Permanent part-time positions, however, are not the easiest roles to find on the Northern Beaches because many people are looking for the wonderful work-life balance these roles offer. The good news is that when you are registered with us, we can immediately contact you when a suitable position becomes available, as we rarely need to advertise. And when seeking a Permanent position, it's important to have up-to-date WP skills and a resume and cover letter ready to go.
Generally speaking, the Northern Beaches has below-average salaries compared with the Sydney metropolitan area, although it's important to consider the many other financial and lifestyle benefits of working locally which can include a shorter daily commute and lower transport costs, free onsite parking, flexibility (such as extended lunch breaks or a late start to watch your child receive an award or run in a race), complimentary lunches and regular social events that many Northern Beaches-based companies offer. You will more than likely find that it all evens out, or that the difference is marginal.
What to expect at your Permanent position interview with Peninsula Personnel
- Allow at least an hour for your Permanent position interview (allow a little extra time if you are also planning to register for On-Hire Casual)
- Dress as you would for a job interview (a clean and ironed corporate-style outfit)
- We will go through your resume, discuss your current and previous career experiences and your preferred roles, industries and work environments and explain any skills tests we would like you to take
- You will have the opportunity to ask us questions, perhaps about salaries and inteview techniques
- In addition to your resume, please bring your bank and superannuation details, your Tax File Number, qualifications and certificates, work visa, and licences such as Driver's and Forklift licences

Amanda was truly wonderful to work with and I could not recommend her more. I was looking for a local job, in a... particular field, and Amanda assisted in me in my "journey". From application to acceptance of the role, Amanda was attentive, kind and understanding. She even dropped off a little gift after I completed my first week. These little touches are wonderful - if you're looking for a job, Amanda from Peninsula Personnel is your go-to.read more

The team at Peninsula Personnel were not the type of recruiters I was expecting. Not having been to an interview in 16... years, they calmed my nerves and helped me through the process, giving me all the support I needed. I felt like I was just chatting with friends, rather than going through the recruitment process. Thank you for giving me the confidence to go through all of this. I did not feel once as if I was being pushed into anything like I have experienced with other agencies previously. Lisa, I thank you so much for your support, you managed that balance of professionalism, care and consideration perfectly!read more

I can highly recommend Peninsula Personnel. My business was very much affected by COVID-19 and I had not done any... temping for over 20 years, so was hesitant about getting in touch. After sending them my resume and an online interview, I was offered a temp job the following day. This in term has tuned into a long term temp role and now a full time job.Lisa and the team are extremely professional, they have lots of amazing businesses that they work with and even better working on the Northern Beaches.read more

Unfortunately I was placed in a role with a company known for it's total unprofessionalism and toxic culture. A small... business on the Northern Beaches. Pitched to me as a confidence builder, it was nothing but a complete eye opener. I'm not a 20 year old needing experience and confidence, I already have it and a very thick skin was needed.Inappropriate comments to other staff were made openly and belittling staff was a regular occurrence.As a mature, intelligent woman who has worked with many professional blue chip companies, I was appalled.I ran into an acquaintance of mine a couple of months ago who had the same experience. She opted to forge her own career path without agency assistance. Go Michelle!I reached out to the agency and the matter was brushed under the carpet. Best not to rock the boat, the customer is always right!Needless to say I have not been contacted about any opportunities since. My advice is be very selective when accepting assignments.I am happy to report that a high profile agency has procured my services valuing very highly my skills, experience, personality and professionalism. Did I mention the fabulous salary and employee benefits?Don't let anybody downgrade your ability. There are are some qualities you cannot list on a resume.read more

Six months ago, the Team at Peninsula Personnel found me a great position with a dynamic and passionate business... located on the Northern Beaches. They took the time to understand my strengths and aspirations and were able to find a full time role that is a great fit for me. Furthermore, they were willing to go the extra mile for me to find this position when a previous placement did not work out, which I am very grateful for. Their positive, down-to-earth and friendly attitude, professional focus and commitment to keeping it local are second to none. Thanks for my wonderful new job. Keep up the good work.Brigitteread more

Lisa, Margaret and the team at Peninsula Personnel have been such a delight to work with and are so quick to move on... the roles they have available. Within the week of walking into peninsula personnel I had been set up with my first assignment to start the following Monday. Can’t fault them in their approach, especially over the Christmas period. It’s unlucky that we were not able to secure a role in my current field but that wasn’t without them trying. Thank you again to the team, I would highly recommend them (and already have done) to anyone on the job search whether temp or permanent and I would be back with them if needed in an instant.read more

Very mixed feelings about our experience with this agency, I cannot recommend Peninsula Personnel to employers, they... are clearly an employment agency for employees and their own benefits only. Employees looking for work, this is a great agency for you, including the lovely packaged gift you get once you are placed in your new role ;) We certainly will not use them again and are probably the first client to even bother leaving a such a review for others to know what to expect.read more

Peninsula made me getting a job easy and an all around great experience. I told them I was really keen on a specific... position. Unfortunately, a didn’t meet a language requirement and they were quickly looking for the next. The job requirements came back amended from the first and Amanda quickly called me to get an interview! I was so excited and I think they may have been more excited for me. They were endearing and genuinely cared about finding me a job I was excited about and not just placing me somewhere for their benefit. They also sent me a very sweet Christmas gift to celebrate. Would absolutely recommend the whole team!read more
