Part Time | Early Childhood Education & Care | South Morang, VIC

Lead with heart in a thriving, established centre.

At Billy Button Early Learning, our core values of Discovery, Connection and Respect shape everything we do. Our South Morang centre is a well-established, nature-based Long Day Care service with a strong team culture, engaged families and a holistic approach to children's learning — a place where creative thought is cultivated, play is celebrated, and every child is supported to build confidence, self-worth and a robust sense of identity.

We're now looking for an experienced and passionate Assistant Manager to join our South Morang leadership team and help us continue building on everything that makes this centre special.

About the role

As Assistant Manager, you'll work alongside the Centre Manager to support the smooth, high-quality operation of an established service with well-embedded programs, systems and relationships.

- Assisting the Pedagogical Leader and educators to continually enrich an engaging, play-based program responsive to children's ideas, strengths and abilities

- Championing child safety, wellbeing and protection as an everyday priority, including compliance with Child Safe Standards and mandatory reporting obligations

- Supporting compliance across health and safety, CCS administration, documentation and regulatory requirements

- Contributing to the Quality Improvement Plan, service philosophy and a culture of reflective practice and continuous improvement





- Nurturing the warm, genuine partnerships we've built with our families and local community

- Acting as Centre Manager/Nominated Supervisor in their absence
