Lead a centre at the start of something new

Educate Early Learning is on the Central Coast and run by a not-for-profit. We’re entering an exciting new chapter under new leadership, and our 70 place is ready for a Director who wants to make it their own.

You’ll be joining at the right moment. You’ll have the backing, the resources and the freedom to set the tone, build a team you’re proud of, and shape the centre’s reputation in the community.

What’s on offer

- Genuinely off the floor. This is a full-time Director role. You’ll have the time to lead, coach your team, build family relationships and keep on top of quality, rather than covering rooms.

- A fresh start with real backing. A new General Manager, a supportive Portfolio Manager and a leadership team invested in your success. You’ll work with people who support you in the service throughout the week.

- Well resourced. Investment in your service, your team and your environment, so you can focus on quality.

- Above-Award salary, plus the Worker Retention Payment.

- Professional development that’s actually funded. We’re building a structured PD menu and leadership pathway, and you’ll help shape it.

- A team culture we’re actively investing in. Protected programming and non-contact time for educators, monthly educator recognition awards, a staff referral program, and traineeships.

- Adaptable rostering across a supportive 4-service organisation.





- Not-for-profit benefits
