Our client is seeking an energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate Centre Manager to lead an experienced and supportive team. The service is centrally located, partly exceeding rated capacity, and can accommodate 132 children at full capacity.

Benefits include:

  • Generous salary with above award wages
  • Achievable incentives for meeting KPIs

About the service

The service is centrally located and close to public transport. With less than 90 children at full capacity, it offers terrific-sized rooms, a fantastic outdoor environment, and genuinely happy and supportive staff. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Centre Manager to make this your own.

We are looking for a strong leader with experience in a similar setting.

The ideal candidate would have experienced at least one A&R with favorable outcomes.

About the role

As Centre Manager, you will oversee daily operations, including but not limited to:

  • Guiding and mentoring a team
  • Supporting and upholding the Centre's policies, procedures, philosophy, and regulations
  • Attending to administration tasks as needed
  • Developing collaborative partnerships with families and the community
  • Ensuring the highest quality of education and care is maintained throughout

About you

  • Diploma qualification or above
  • Minimum of 2 years' continuous experience in a Centre Manager or 2IC role in a long day care setting
  • Strong knowledge of the National Quality Framework and Early Years Learning Framework
  • Responsibility and dedication to providing a safe and positive environment for children and staff
  • A&R experience
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively and build positive relationships with families and the wider community
  • Strong organisational and time management skills

If this sounds like your next career move, or if you are exploring your career and unsure if this is right for you, then apply, and we can discuss it further.

At Early Years Talent, we connect passionate early childhood educators, teachers, and childcare staff with job opportunities. Our clients range from boutique exceeding early learning centres and long day cares to community-managed not-for-profits and kindergartens/preschools.
