OSHC 2IC (Second in Charge)
Whoosh Care | Surry Hills

Previous OSHC experience is essential for this 2IC position.

Are you the kind of educator who walks into a room and children gravitate towards you?

Do you thrive in organised chaos, big personalities, creative ideas, and real conversations with school-aged children?

Do you believe OSHC is not babysitting, but leadership in action?

About Whoosh Care

Whoosh Care is a boutique before and after school care provider established in 2015. We are known for strong relationships, high expectations, and programs that actually engage children.

We are intentionally small. That means our leaders are supported, our educators are valued, and our standards are high.

Our Surry Hills service is vibrant, energetic, and community connected. It needs a 2IC who can match that energy while supporting the daily leadership of the service.

This means overseeing the safe and compliant operation of the service, ensuring supervision and ratios are maintained, supporting educators in their roles, communicating with families, and making confident operational decisions in line with Whoosh policies and regulatory requirements.

This is not a passive role. We want leaders who lean in.

This part-time role requires availability for a couple of before and 5 after school care sessions.
