Centre Director

1 day ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Bilingual by Five CBD Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year

Come to sunny Perth – move West with a generous relocation allowance

Who We Are:

We're a boutique early learning group with a unique mission to help kids grow wholistically while learning a lifechanging language. An exciting position has opened up in our CBD centre leadership team as director due to an internal promotion.


About the Role:

You'll lead a talented team with warmth, professionalism, mentorship, and quality oversight.

What you'll do:

As part of this dynamic role you'll:

Internal excellence

  • juggle rosters like a ninja – balancing ratios, scheduling lunch breaks and handling last-minute sick days without breaking a sweat (or a smile).

· keep our documentation game strong – policies, procedures, records, audits, enrolments... if it lives in a folder (digital or paper), you've probably already reviewed it, updated it, and colour-coded it.

  • help us run a tight-ship, administratively– from keeping CCS and compliance in check to managing parent accounts and ensuring Xplor doesn't Xplode

Team mentorship

  • support, coach, and inspire our team to deliver high-quality, child-focused care and education
  • promote teamwork that's built on honesty, accountability and a bit of fun – no room for egos or gossip here.
  • be a steady presence – calm in the chaos, approachable in the pressure and someone the team can count on (even if it's just to fix the printer).
  • champion staff wellbeing – notice when someone needs a break, a laugh, or just a really good coffee.

Growth & Culture

  • be part of the leadership team that's always improving – whether it's refining systems or coming up with better ways to do everyday things.
  • be proactive, not just reactive – know when to pick up a phone, clipboard or broom when needed – we love a leader who's happy to jump in and do what needs doing.

You don't need to have done everything on the above list to apply; however, we want someone with a willingness to learn and ability to problem solve.


Who you might be:

  • a super organised 'keeper' who's ready for a stimulating and dynamic role
  • a smart self-starter who's internally motivated and gets things done
  • an early learning educator or manager with additional skills and potential
  • hold a minimum Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care
  • possess valid Australian work rights or appropriate visa status

Bonus points if you speak Mandarin (but not essential).


The Perks:

  • learn from smart people, systems and work habits
  • opportunity to grow your role and become an exceptional leader
  • benefit of being part of the leadership inner circle of a values-led organisation
  • relocation allowance for the right candidate

Ready to Apply?

We hire people over positions, if you'd like to work with us, but haven't done everything on the job description, we'd still love to hear from you to see if it could work. If you speak Chinese Mandarin that's a bonus but not essential.
