- Minimum one years' experience mentoring a team as an Assistant Director.
- Experience in overseeing and implementing a program based on children's needs and interests.
- A strong understanding of compliance and of National Quality Standards (NQF).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

- The ability to support and work collaboratively with your team, and assist and support the Centre Director in the general day-to-day running of the service.
- The ability to manage and lead community engagement.
