Assistant Director / 2IC
Sparrow Early Learning Ormeau Hills
5 Day/ Part-time Position
As our right-hand hero (also known as 2IC ), you’ll be the go-to support for the Service Manager — helping to keep our day-to-day magic running smoothly! From making sure we meet all the important compliance goals to cheering on your team, you’ll be a key part of what makes our service shine.
You’ll bring energy, creativity, and a big heart — designing playful learning experiences, sparking curiosity, and helping educators feel confident and supported every step of the way. In this role, you’ll lead by example, create a safe and joy-filled space for little learners, and build meaningful connections with families, children, your team, and the community.
This is not a non-contact role. It’s a hands-on position built on relationships, professional trust, and visible presence within services. If you’re ready to wear many hats (leader, listener, learning guide, and fun-bringer), this role might just be your perfect fit!
Our values – Inspire, Nurture, Grow – guide everything we do:
Inspire a love of learning through creativity and curiosity
Nurture every child’s wellbeing and potential through connection and care
Grow confident learners and strong, supportive teams
