About us
For 85
years, Gowrie Victoria has been at the forefront of early learning. We are a
purpose -driven, not -for -profit organisation with a reputation for high -quality
early childhood education and care. We champion excellence and implement a
play -based, emergent curriculum across our nine early learning services in
Victoria.
We are known
as a place for demonstration, where generations of teachers and educators have
learnt and developed their practice. We build the capability of thousands of
leaders, teachers, and educators each year through accredited training, blended
learning, coaching & mentoring programs, and networking events.
The opportunity
Gowrie has
been selected at the provisional provider of two new early learning services in
Geelong as part of the Victorian Government's Kindergarten on School Sites
program. Co -located with Oberon Primary School and Grovedale Primary School,
our two new services will provide free sessional kindergarten for 3–4 -year -olds
in 2026. This expansion allows us to provide high -quality early learning to more
children and families in the Geelong community and to build strong and lasting
relationships with children, families, schools, and the local early childhood
community.
We're
looking for two Kindergarten Managers to join our team in ensuring the success
of these new services. The Kindergarten Manager will act as Nominated
Supervisor and Educational Leader, alongside their role as a qualified Early
Childhood Teacher (ECT). You'll bring experience in a leadership role within
the early childhood sector, alongside current VIT registration and recent
teaching experience. You'll lead, coach, and inspire a team of ECTs and
educators in developing and implementing a high -quality pedagogical program
with responsibility for compliance, people management and enrolments at the
service.
At Gowrie,
our strength is our culture. It is built on a foundation of genuine curiosity.
We encourage our people to ask questions, be reflective and bring their
authentic selves to work. Does this sound like the place for you? If you're
