  • Significant experience in managing and proactively addressing complex issues with the ability to analyze and provide practical and timely solutions while considering diverse perspectives and priorities and negotiating outcomes effectively.
  • Current, unrestricted South Australian driver's license and be willing to travel within your dedicated region on a regular weekly basis.
  • Comprehensive understanding of the early childhood education sector.

  • An immersive and comprehensive 4-week team training and induction program to set you up for success.
  • A pool car for your convenience - reduce expenses and wear and tear on your own car.
  • Flexible work arrangements with a high degree of autonomy.
