Great incentives | A supportive leadership structure to set you up for success
The Opportunity
Are you looking for an organisation that truly values its Educational Leaders?
Do you love guiding teams on their curriculum journey and making a real difference in children's lives?
Are you ready to join a high-quality early education group that will support and celebrate you as you grow?
If so, we'd love to hear from you.
We're excited to announce an opening for the highly sought-after role of Educational Leader at one of our wonderful Sesame Lane services.
The Role
We're looking for a motivated and inspiring Early Childhood Educator or Early Childhood Teacher to step into the Educational Leader role at Sesame Lane.
We deeply value our Educational Leaders and know how significant it is to have dedicated time — time with educators as they program, time on the floor supporting and guiding, time for your own work, and time to grow as a leader and mentor.
For this reason, our Educational Leaders are not assigned to a single room and only step in as support when needed.
This role forms part of the service's Leadership Team, and you'll work closely with the Service Manager to achieve exceptional learning outcomes for both children and educators.
You'll also be supported by a dedicated Educational Mentor and Area Manager.
Be who you are.
Love what you do.
If you're good at what you do, you can work anywhere.
If you're the best at what you do, you belong at Sesame Lane.
We are one team with one dream — to make a positive difference in people's lives (and have a lot of fun along the way!).
When you join us, you become part of something bigger.
You'll be inspired, you'll learn, and you'll grow.
It's more than a job — it's about showing up and making a difference every single day.
Are you ready?
