If you are passionate about shaping young minds, building confident teams, and making a meaningful impact every day, we encourage you to apply.

About You
To be successful in this role, you will be a confident and capable early childhood leader with experience in supporting daily operations, mentoring staff and maintaining compliance with relevant frameworks and legislation.

You will bring a strong understanding of curriculum development, inclusive practice and the developmental needs of children aged six weeks to five years. Your ability to communicate effectively, lead by example and contribute to a positive team culture will be key to your success in this position.
