Role: State Performance Lead

Location: Victoria South - Covering The City of Casey, The Mornington Peninsula and The Gippsland Region of Victoria

Employment Type: Permanent Full-Time

Goodstart Early Learning is currently seeking a State Performance Lead who will work alongside the State Manager in Victoria South to ensure we have the best Centre Directors in every centre, every day. The role works across all centres in the state to form a holistic view of centre performance with consideration to each centre’s contextual situation, team and leadership capability. The State Performance Lead also holds systems line manager and performance management responsibilities for a prescribed number of Centre Directors, assigned by the State Manager.

This role is a key relationship for Centre Directors, supporting them to achieve exceeding performance and become empowered, then informed and finally adaptive leaders.

Your Impact:

  • Empower Centre Directors and teams to uplift performance
  • Understand each centre’s KPIs and capability needs
  • Simplify or remove ineffective management processes
  • Monitor performance using data, observations, and insights
  • Collaborate with the State Support Team to align support with centre needs
  • Work with expert services to uphold Goodstart’s 2025 standards
  • Assist the State Manager with succession planning for Centre Directors
  • Ensure centres have effective Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs) and philosophies

What Goodstart can offer you:

  • Flexible work arrangements giving you choice about when and how work will be done in order to better manage your work and non-work needs (as arrange with your manager)
  • Not-For-Profit Salary Packaging benefits which reduce your taxable income to increase take home pay
  • Access to discounted childcare (up to 15%)
  • Option to purchase extra leave for even greater work life balance  
  • First Nations Support and Cultural Leave
  • Work for a company that has an aspiration to be globally recognised for early years practice and learning outcomes
  • Gain significant investment in your growth and development with support, tools, training and experiences that will truly enhance the progress and outcomes for children in their earliest years.

You’ll bring to the table:

  • Demonstrated ability to strategically think, collaborate and coordinate across state and national functions and the ability to navigate complexity, competing priorities and constantly changing situations and needs. 
  • Being a dynamic individual adept at supporting and surpassing KPIs, while navigating through various centres, each with distinct capabilities and operational landscapes.
  • A sound knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Framework (NQF).
  • Qualifications in a Business, Teaching or Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) discipline would be beneficial, but not essential.
  • Strong business acumen across all domains of centre performance
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate existing knowledge, analyse data and formulate strategies to improve current performance
  • Demonstrated ability to develop, lead and nurture high performing teams
  • Valid VIC Working with Children Check Card
  • Current National Police Clearance
  • Current Open Driving License
