An exciting opportunity to lead, inspire and make a difference in a unique school community!

Are you a passionate educator and natural leader looking for your next career opportunity?

We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated, and professional Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Centre Director to lead a vibrant service on a unique school campus, conveniently located just minutes from Perth City.

This is more than a traditional OSHC leadership role. It is an opportunity to become an integral part of a distinctive school community, develop meaningful relationships with children and families, and work collaboratively with school principals, educators and key stakeholders.

We are looking for someone who brings energy, initiative and a genuine passion for education, with the confidence to lead a team and create an environment where children feel safe, supported, inspired and excited to attend.

About the Opportunity

As Centre Director, you will have the opportunity to shape the culture, direction and everyday experiences of the OSHC service.

You will lead the delivery of engaging before- and after-school care programs, focusing on children's wellbeing, development, creativity and sense of belonging.

Working closely with the school community, you will play an important role in building positive partnerships between the OSHC service, school leadership, families and educators.

Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills are central to this position. You will be comfortable communicating with children at their level while demonstrating the professionalism, confidence and diplomacy required to engage with parents, school principals and senior stakeholders.

Your written communication will be equally important, ensuring correspondence, reporting and stakeholder engagement are delivered clearly, accurately and professionally.

What You'll Be Doing

- Lead and inspire: Guide, mentor and motivate a team of educators, fostering a positive, supportive and collaborative workplace culture.

- Create engaging experiences: Develop and deliver innovative, inclusive and age-appropriate programs that encourage children's curiosity, creativity, independence and social development.





- Build strong school partnerships: Establish and maintain skilled, collaborative relationships with school principals, leadership teams and key stakeholders.

- Connect with families: Be a welcoming and approachable point of contact, building trust through open, respectful and proactive communication.

- Champion children's wellbeing: Create an environment where every child feels valued, included, safe and supported.

- Communicate with confidence: Represent the service professionally through meetings, conversations, written correspondence, reports and stakeholder engagement.

- Drive service excellence: Oversee daily operations, staffing, administration, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.

- Shape the future: Contribute ideas and initiatives that strengthen the service, enhance children's experiences and build its reputation within the school community.

About You – The Leader We're Looking For

You may already be an experienced OSHC Director or Coordinator, or an educator with strong leadership capabilities, ready to take the next step in your career.

Above all, we are looking for someone with the right attitude, professional approach and passion for working with children.

You will bring:

- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to confidently engage with children, families, educators, school principals and key stakeholders.

- Strong leadership qualities and the ability to inspire, support and develop a team.

- A genuine passion for children's education, wellbeing and development.

- Excellent interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence and the ability to build trusting relationships.

- A professional, approachable and solutions-focused manner.

- Robust organisational skills,



initiative and the confidence to make decisions.

- The ability to balance educational leadership with the operational responsibilities of running a successful OSHC service.

- An understanding of the National Quality Framework, National Quality Standards and My Time, Our Place learning framework.

- Relevant qualifications, experience and clearances appropriate to the role.

We particularly welcome applications from experienced OSHC educators, coordinators and education professionals who are passionate about progressing into a rewarding leadership position.
