Who we are:


KU Children's Services (KU) is a leading not for profit provider of nearly 130 early childhood education and care services in NSW, Vic, the ACT and Qld.

  • Engage with local communities, seeking guidance in the creation and delivery of culturally secure and responsive environments and practices
  • Initiate and oversee the implementation and delivery of locally endorsed language programs
  • Develop and deliver training to progress the learning and cultural understanding and responsiveness of employees and management across the organisation
  • Join a leadership team within the Early Childhood Education department
  • Be offered a range of career pathway opportunities

What we're looking for

As the Manager of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Programs Team, you will lead a small team and work closely with all departments across KU, as we aspire to:

  • Have culturally responsive leadership
  • Establish new and strengthen existing relationships with local Aboriginal communities where KU services are located and beyond
  • Explore and establish new partnerships with key stakeholders including local, State and National organisations
  • Uphold the principles of the organisational Statement of Commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
  • Enhance the career and employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples at all levels of KU
  • Engage, respect and actively raise the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities in our services and programs
