Job Description

Educational Leader & Room Leader | Kariong

n

Preschool Room Leader & Educational Leader | Kariong, NSW

n

Lead. Mentor. Inspire. Two leadership roles, one incredible chance.

n

Are you a confident early childhood leader ready to shape both a preschool room and the educational heartbeat of a service? This well-established Kariong centre is looking for someone who thrives on mentoring, loves a great curriculum challenge, and wants real ownership over their professional impact.

n

Why This Role Stands Out

n

Dual leadership — combine Preschool Room Leader and Educational Leader responsibilities in one energetic position

n

Genuine support — a leadership team invested in your growth, not just your output

n

Values-driven culture — join a high-quality, well-regarded service that walks the talk

n

Protected EL time — dedicated time off the floor to actually do your Educational Leader duties justice

n

What You'll Be Doing

n

You'll lead the daily rhythm of the preschool room while stepping into a broader mentoring role across the service — working hand-in-hand with the Centre Director to drive curriculum outcomes aligned with the EYLF and NQS. Think reflective practice conversations,



school-readiness programming, and building educators up to do their best work.

Real professional development and leadership support
n
An experienced, Supportive management team
n
A positive, collaborative team culture
