About CELA

Community Early Learning Australia (CELA) is the peak body for Australia's early childhood education sector. We are passionate advocates for quality early education and care for all Australian children. With over 1,800 members and more than 27,000 educators and teachers nationally, our reach spans community-managed not-for-profit, government, and privately owned services including preschool, long day care, outside school hours care, and family day care.

Our mission is to:

  • Deliver expert support that empowers members and the broader sector to provide high-quality early education and care.
  • Influence policy makers by amplifying the voices of community managed and small providers.
  • Promote the value and importance of community managed and small providers of early education.

The Role

We are seeking a dynamic Professional Learning Manager to lead and grow CELA's renowned Learning and Development program. This is a strategic leadership role that will ensure our professional learning offering delivers measurable value, strengthens workforce capability, and maintains CELA's position as the trusted go to for practical professional development for the sector.

You will drive outcomes by embedding systems, monitoring impact, and fostering innovation that directly supports our members and the sector.

Key Responsibilities

  • Integrate member-focused professional learning to support professional capacity.
  • Translate sector intelligence and member feedback into high-impact learning initiatives.
  • Deliver programs that strengthen leadership, governance, compliance, and service quality.
  • Expand consultancy and L&D offerings to diversify income streams.
  • Embed systems and metrics that improve agility, responsiveness, and decision-making.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a transformative leader who is:

  • Strategic yet hands-on, with a focus on outcomes and impact.
  • Collaborative, creative, and courageous.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity at times and able to identify bold, evidence-informed solutions.
  • Adaptable and agile in navigating sector reforms and change.
  • Skilled at building trust, partnerships, and organisational capability.

Why Join Us?

At CELA, you'll be part of a purpose-driven team that champions early education across Australia. This is your opportunity to shape professional learning at a national level and contribute to a sector that makes a real difference for children, families, and communities.
