Centre Director | Campbelltown Area | From $120K + Bonuses

Lead a centre. Build the culture. Make it yours.

If you're an experienced Centre Director who knows what a great early learning service looks like, but you're tired of being micromanaged, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

An established early childhood education provider is seeking an exceptional Centre Director for a service in the Campbelltown area.

We're looking for a genuine leader. Someone who can build a high-performing team, create a culture people want to be part of, connect with families and take real ownership of their centre.

In return, you'll have the backing of an experienced and supportive leadership team, genuine autonomy to lead, and a remuneration package designed to attract an outstanding operator.

The package

For the right person, we're prepared to offer an exceptional package:

- Around $120,000 base salary, negotiable based on experience

- Lucrative performance bonus opportunities

- Generous childcare fee discounts

- Genuine autonomy to lead and shape your centre

- Support from an experienced senior leadership team

- Ongoing leadership development and professional growth

- Career opportunities within a growing early childhood organisation

We are prepared to invest in the right person.

The opportunity

Great Centre Directors do much more than manage rosters, budgets and compliance.

They create the environment in which everything else succeeds.

You'll have the opportunity to lead your centre with your own style, establish clear expectations, develop your leadership team and create a workplace where great educators want to stay.

You'll be trusted to make decisions and take ownership, while having senior leaders available when you need advice, resources or support.

Your focus will include:

- Building an engaged, positive and high-performing team culture

- Coaching, developing and retaining great educators and emerging leaders

- Leading the day-to-day operation and performance of the centre





- Maintaining excellent standards across quality, compliance and child safety

- Driving occupancy and strengthening relationships with local families

- Managing staffing, budgets and overall centre performance

- Supporting the delivery of high-quality educational programs

- Building genuine relationships with families and the local community

- Identifying opportunities and making improvements that move the centre forward

Who we're looking for

We're not simply looking for someone who has held the title of Centre Director.

We're looking for someone who can lead.

You'll ideally bring:

- Significant leadership experience within early childhood education and care

- A Diploma or Degree in Early Childhood Education and Care, or an appropriate equivalent qualification

- Solid knowledge of the National Quality Framework and relevant regulations

- Confidence managing people, performance, occupancy and centre operations

- Commercial awareness and the ability to understand the numbers behind a successful centre

- Strong communication and relationship-building skills

- The confidence to make decisions and take ownership

- A leadership style that brings people with you

- A genuine commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for children and families

A leadership team that will back you

One of the biggest differences in this opportunity is the support around you.

You won't be expected to solve every problem alone.

You'll have access to an experienced leadership team who can provide guidance, resources and support, while still giving you the space to lead your centre.

We want a Centre Director who has ideas, challenges the status quo and takes pride in building something exceptional.

Ready for something bigger?

If you're a strong Centre Director who feels you've outgrown your current opportunity, or you're looking for an organisation prepared to genuinely recognise and reward great leadership, we'd like to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to lead with autonomy, build a team you're proud of and be rewarded for the results you create.
