**Big smiles and bigger opportunities**
We're Big Fat Smile. A not-for-profit that plays a pivotal role in the lives of thousands of children and families across Australia. We're early education enthusiasts, with 40+ community preschools, long day care centres and fun clubs, and a variety of community and inclusion programs.

Everyone's in it together, making it easier for you to thrive.
**We treasure the expertise of our educators**
As Second in Charge, you'll play a critical role in shaping young minds. You'll create happy, healthy relationships between a child and the most important people in their lives.

**There are lots of reasons why a role with us is rewarding**
- You will feel supported by a Total Well-being Platform that gives you access to self-assessments, articles, toolkits, podcasts, perks and savings, and other resources.
- We are proud to be part of the multi-employer bargaining process. Join us to experience the rewards of a 15% pay increase over the next two years.
