Sparrow Early Learning

Fulltime Role

Help educators grow. Strengthen practice. Make a difference.

At Sparrow Early Learning, we believe outstanding early childhood practice happens when educators feel supported, capable and confident to make a difference for children every day.

We’re looking for an Education &

- Practice Mentor to join our team and work alongside our services to strengthen educational practice, build educator capability and support teams to create meaningful learning experiences for children.

This is a role for someone who loves early childhood education, people and practice — someone who can walk into a service, build genuine relationships, notice what is happening, ask the right questions and work alongside educators to support positive change.

We’re Looking For Someone Who…

- Has a strong understanding of early childhood education and contemporary pedagogical practice.
- Has experience working as an Educational Leader and is looking for a growth opportunity.

- Is organised, adaptable and comfortable working across multiple services.
- Has a genuine commitment to children’s rights, voice, agency and wellbeing.
- Brings energy, warmth and a sense of fun to their work.





This role is for you if… You get excited when an educator has that “aha!” moment. You enjoy being in services, sitting alongside educators and figuring things out together.

You believe professional learning should change practice — not just tick a box.

You can see the strengths in people while still being willing to challenge thinking and ask, “What could we do differently?”

And most importantly, you believe that supporting educators to grow ultimately means better experiences and outcomes for children.
