We are seeking an exceptional Centre Director / Service Coordinator to lead a well-established Long Day Care service where relationships, quality education, and community connection are at the heart of everything we do.

A Career That Matters

The most important part of this role isn’t managing a centre—it’s leading a community.

Every decision you make, every educator you support, and every family you welcome contributes to a child’s earliest experiences and lifelong learning journey.

If you are an inspiring leader who is passionate about quality education, building strong teams, and creating environments where everyone can thrive, we would love to hear from you.
