Are you an influential advocate for children and passionate about high-quality early education?

Wholechild Early Learning has an exciting opportunity for a motivated and experienced Educational Leader to join our leadership team as our current educational leaders are going on maternity leave. The role will be ongoing employment mentoring and driving education and practice.

We are seeking a special candidate—someone who wants to grow, contribute, and lead with authenticity. A leader who believes in nurturing children holistically and embedding practices that build confidence, resilience and wellbeing… The Wholechild Way.

At Wholechild, no two children are the same and we celebrate that. Our curriculum is founded on our unique Five Foundations—supporting social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative development. Our environment and practices are intentionally designed to foster the deepest possible learning in the most important years of a child's life.

The successful applicant will be a community-minded professional who is inspired by improving outcomes for children, empowering educators, and strengthening family connections every day.

  • Lead the Centre's curriculum and pedagogical practices

  • Attractive remuneration package aligned to experience
  • Staff discount on childcare fees
  • Exceptional staff facilities including a well-appointed staff room, consult room, sports stadium, creative studio and program room
  • Genuine opportunities for professional growth and career progression with an industry-leading operator
  • Supportive, warm and collaborative team culture

Pre-Requisites
  • Diploma or Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (or ACECQA approved equivalent)
  • Previous experience in an Educational Leader or mentoring role (preferred but not essential for the right candidate)
  • Current First Aid HLTAID004, CPR, Asthma & Anaphylaxis, and WWCC
