Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia Wholechild Early Learning Full time

Are you the one…?

An exciting opportunity has opened to join the leadership team at Wholechild Early Learning, Coffs Harbour.

As our current Assistant Director also holds the Educational Leader role, we're seeking an additional Assistant Director to complement our model of distributed leadership and help shape the future of our service.

We're looking for a passionate and motivated early childhood professional who's ready to grow, be mentored, and ultimately step into a Centre Director position in the future.

About the Role:

As the Assistant Centre Director, you will:

  • Work in partnership with the Director to oversee the daily operations of the centre.
  • Mentor, inspire, and support educators to foster a positive and passionate team culture
  • Lead by example to embed Wholechild's curriculum, values, and quality standards.
  • Enjoy substantial time off the floor, working opposite open/close shifts to the Director.
  • Develop confidence in operational systems, online platforms, and CRM programs.
  • Build authentic relationships with families and support the day-to-day administration of the service.
  • Be hands-on in leadership mentoring while still connecting meaningfully with children and educators.

What's in it for you?

  • A genuine pathway to Centre Director, supported every step of the way.
  • Mentorship from an experienced, passionate leadership team.
  • Ongoing professional development through the Wholechild Mentorship Program.
  • Collaborative training alongside our current Assistant Director/Educational Leader and Centre Director.
  • Attractive remuneration based on experience. ( Current Workers Retention Grant paid)
  • Staff childcare discount.
  • Purpose-built, educator-designed facilities — including a spacious staff room, consult room, and program space filled with natural light to relax and recharge.

About You

  • Diploma or Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (or ACECQA equivalent).
  • Experience in a similar leadership role is highly valued.
  • Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma & Anaphylaxis, and WWCC.
  • Child Protection Training (CHCPRT001).
  • Strong knowledge of the EYLF and NQS.
  • A positive, team-oriented attitude and the ability to work across operational hours.

Why Wholechild

At Wholechild, no two children are the same — and we celebrate that

Our curriculum is built on Five Foundations — social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative — to nurture the whole child. We believe the early years are the most formative, shaping 90% of brain development before age five.

Our service is designed to reflect these foundations — providing a learning environment where children, families, and educators all thrive.

We're looking for someone who is:

Community-minded and passionate about improving the lives of families.

Eager to grow into a leadership role.

Ready to make a lasting impact on children's futures.
