The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced and driven Centre Director to lead a vibrant, 108-place service located within a bustling shopping complex. This is a unique opportunity to take the reins of a well‑established, high‑quality centre with a settled team and a consistent occupancy base.
If you are a leader who values high standards, professional family partnerships and a supportive team culture, this is the role for you.
About the Centre
* Capacity & Layout: A spacious 6-room service licensed for 108 children.
* Location: Conveniently located on the top level of a shopping complex.
* The Team: You will be joining a settled, fully staffed team with a great mix of long‑serving members, including 3 qualified ECTs.
* The Culture: We cater to a mostly professional clientele of families who value quality education and communication. The environment is professional yet warm, with high standards already in place.
Why You'll Love This Role
* True “Off‑the‑Floor” Management: You will have a generous rostering system with ample supernumerary hours so you can focus on leadership, mentoring and best practice, not covering lunch breaks.
* Incredible Support: You will be supported by a fantastic 2IC (currently the Acting CD) who is passionate about educating and eager to return to leading her room.
* Parking Solved: Reserved service parking and access to ample, non‑time‑limited customer parking right at the door.
* Growth Potential: With a solid occupancy baseline, there is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded Director to drive enrollment and take the service to full capacity.
About You
* Qualifications: Minimum Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (or higher).
* Availability: This is a permanent Full‑Time position.
* Leadership Style: A strong presence, visible on the floor, modelling best practice and supporting the team.
* Communication: Professional communication skills necessary to build strong, lasting relationships with our community of professional families.
Your Key Priorities
* Maintain the high operational and educational standards currently in place.
* Focus on occupancy growth and marketing strategies for the new year.
* Mentor and retain our high‑performing team.
