- Sourcing, negotiating, and securing field placement opportunities
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with industry partners, alumni, and graduates
- Overseeing placement quality and resolving issues when they arise

Beyond this, you’ll also manage our industry contact database, maintain strong stakeholder relationships, and use host feedback to continuously improve the placement process.

To be successful, you will have:

- At least 3 years’ experience in the Early Childhood Education sector
- A background in partnership development, stakeholder engagement, or program management
- An understanding of placement processes and compliance in higher education and/or VET

A qualification in Early Childhood Education would be an advantage, but it’s not essential if you bring the right mix of experience and industry knowledge.
