Job Description
Centre Director | Boutique Early Learning Centre | South Sydney
n
Up to $120,000 + super | 4 or 5 days | Established team | Supportive owner
n
Are you an experienced Centre Director who genuinely enjoys leading people?
n
We are partnering with a well-established, boutique early learning service in Southern Sydney to find a Centre Director to lead a small, settled centre with a strong team and excellent foundations already in place.
n
This isn't a turnaround role. The centre is at full occupancy, has an experienced team and a positive culture. You'll also work closely with a supportive and hands‐on Approved Provider who remains involved in the service.
n
The educational side of the centre is well supported by an experienced ECT and Educational Leader, allowing the incoming Director to focus on where they can make the biggest impact: leading, supporting and developing the team.
n
The opportunity This would suit a Director who enjoys the people side of leadership. You'll be trusted to manage the day-to-day running of the service, build strong relationships with educators and families, and continue developing an already positive team culture.
n
The Approved Provider remains closely involved and provides strong support around compliance and regulatory requirements, so you won't be left to manage everything alone.
n
There is also genuine flexibility around working arrangements. While a five-day week is available, the service is open to considering an experienced candidate looking for a four-day working week.
n
What's on offer?
n
n
Salary of up to $120,000 + super, depending on experience
n




Opportunity to work four or five days per week
n
Small, boutique early learning environment
n
Established service operating at full occupancy
n
Secure and experienced team already in place
n
Strong Educational Leader and ECT support
n
Supportive, engaged Approved Provider
n
Genuine autonomy without being left unsupported
n
Ongoing professional development
n
An established, family-owned environment with a strong connection to the Sutherland Shire
n
A role where you can focus on leadership rather than having to rebuild a struggling service
n
n
About you We're particularly interested in speaking with candidates who are strong people leaders.
n
You may already be an experienced Centre Director/Nominated Supervisor, or you could be a high-performing Assistant Director ready to take the next step.
n
You'll ideally bring:
n
n
Previous leadership experience within an early childhood service
n
Confidence managing, mentoring and developing educators
n
The ability to navigate difficult conversations and resolve team conflict constructively
n
A track record of building positive, accountable team cultures
n
Strong relationships with children, families and educators
n




Good working knowledge of the NQF, NQS, EYLF and relevant regulations
n
An ACECQA-approved early childhood qualification
n
Current NSW Working with Children Check
n
n
You don't necessarily need to be the strongest Educational Leader in the room. There is already excellent pedagogical leadership within the service.
n
What we're looking for is someone who knows how to lead people.
n
If you're looking for a Director position where you can step into an established centre, work alongside a supportive owner and experienced team, and have genuine flexibility and autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.
n
Thinking about a move in ****? You don't necessarily need to leave your current centre immediately. If you're planning to finish the year with your current team and make a move in January, I'd still be very happy to speak with you now.
n
We also offer complimentary CV advice and interview support to help you put your best foot forward throughout the recruitment process.
n
ANZUK Education is committed to child safety and wellbeing. All applicants will be required to complete appropriate child safety screening and background checks prior to commencement.
n
We support educators across early childhood, primary, secondary, and specialist education settings throughout Australia and internationally.
n
As an equal opportunity employer, we welcome applications from people of all ages, genders, abilities, cultural backgrounds, and beliefs, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
