We have a long-standing team of educators, strong relationships with families and a well-established community within the centre.
We are looking for someone who can lead the team, maintain the culture we have built and support the day-to-day operation of the service.

We value a Director who is approachable, consistent and fair, and who is comfortable working alongside their team.

The service offers:
An experienced and long-standing team
A supportive ownership team

The type of person we are looking for
This role would suit someone who enjoys working with a team and being involved in the day-to-day life of a centre.
You don't need to have a particular personality or leadership style. We are looking for someone who is reliable, approachable, organised and able to build good working relationships.
Most importantly, we want someone who cares about the children, supports their team and takes pride in the service they lead.
