Senior Recruitment Consultant | Education Practice | Early Childhood Leadership Appointments

The organisation

Only About Children (OAC) is a leading early childhood education and care provider, supporting the growth and development of over 9,000 children across more than 80 campuses nationally. Headquartered in Sydney, OAC operates services across New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, offering innovative, play-based learning programs that integrate health, nutrition, and education.

Proudly owned by Bright Horizons, a global early education provider headquartered in the US, OAC benefits from international expertise while staying deeply connected to Australian families and communities. This unique structure provides access to global insights, research, and best practice, alongside a strong values-led culture grounded in OAC's HEART Principles.

The opportunity

Reporting to the Director of Campus Network, the Regional Operations Leader (ROL) will:

  • Lead, coach and develop Campus Directors across a portfolio of up to 10 campuses in the Northern Beaches, from Brookvale to St Leonards.
  • Oversee operational performance, including occupancy, family experience, safety, and compliance.
  • Deliver commercial outcomes by optimising revenue, managing costs, and achieving EBITDA targets.
  • Act as a conduit between campus teams and central support functions, ensuring smooth implementation of strategy, projects, and initiatives.
  • Collaborate with a team of Regional Operations Leaders across the Eastern Seaboard, sharing insights and driving strategic goals together.
  • Support and embed the OAC Way, ensuring high-quality care and education for children, and a positive, engaging culture for staff.
  • Build strong networks of Campus Directors, fostering collegiality and the sharing of best practice across the region and the wider organisation.

  • Excellent relationship-building and influencing skills, with a collaborative and supportive style.
  • A current driver's licence and willingness to travel across your region.
What's on Offer

This is a key regional leadership opportunity with scope to shape outcomes across multiple campuses and develop the next generation of leaders. You'll be supported by dedicated specialists and central teams, and empowered with coaching and professional growth pathways. Alongside a values-led culture, you'll enjoy:
  • Competitive salary + $10k car allowance + performance bonus
