Lead. Mentor. Inspire. Two leadership roles, one incredible opportunity.
/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 skilled impact.
/n
Why This Role Stands Out
/n
Dual leadership — combine Preschool Room Leader and Educational Leader responsibilities in one dynamic 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.
