At Prescript Recruitment, we follow a transparent, friendly process:

◼️The first stage is an informal conversation with Prescript for you to decide if you want to proceed – you will need to share your CV and we will talk about the position, the healthcare organisation, and the location. You can let us know if you want to bring your family and if you have any special requirements.

◼️ The second stage is an informal application – we will arrange a phone call or a review of your skills to establish if this is going to be a good fit.

◼️The third stage – if you’re happy then Prescript will send you a locum confirmation to say ‘congratulations – all booked!’

◼️The fourth stage – Prescript will help manage all the paperwork and logistics. All you have to do is look forward to starting.

About Ash Pinkerton

Hi there, I'm Ash and I work as Prescript's Recruitment Partner for Family Medicine GPs and Psychiatrists. Based in Adelaide, my aim is to become the most knowledgeable recruiter for Psychiatrists and Family Medical GPs in Australia. I'm passionate about working with the Prescript team to develop tailored solutions that address the regional doctor shortage and provide the best possible outcomes for everyone involved.

With over three years of recruitment experience in a variety of industries, including blue, pink, and white collar, I've gained a deep understanding of the needs of both clients and candidates. Recently, I served as a Board Member, where I focused on upholding ethical standards and streamlining operations. Additionally, as a Co-Managing Director and Co-Founder within the recruitment industry, I worked hard to develop and implement business strategies that prioritised client needs and ensured positive outcomes for all involved.

I'm a firm believer in continuous learning and am always striving to expand my skill set. I have completed certifications in Python coding and Life Coaching, and I'm currently working towards completing certification in labour hire. I live by the quote from Eric Hoffer: "In times of change, the learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with the world that no longer exists."

At my core, I'm motivated by the desire to make a positive impact and contribute to a greater cause. In my personal life, I'm committed to self-improvement and enjoy exploring new hobbies and learning new skills. When I'm not working, you can find me spending time with my family and friends, reading books, hiking, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

I'm thrilled to be part of the Prescript team, where everyone genuinely values each other's opinions and achievements. In my experience, Prescript Recruitment is a productive, constructive, and supportive team that is committed to making a real difference in the industry.
