Ready for a leadership role where you can make an impact without doing it alone?We’re exclusively partnering with a quality early childhood education and care service in the Armidale region looking for an experienced Co-Director to join its leadership team.

You’ll work alongside an amazing Co-Director and supportive Owner, sharing responsibility for the service while still having the autonomy and trust to make decisions, take initiative and lead confidently.

You’ll each bring your own strengths to the partnership while maintaining shared accountability for the success of the service.

Most importantly, we want someone who can bring positive energy to the team and contribute to a culture where educators enjoy coming to work and doing their best for children.
