If you’re a Diploma-qualified educator who enjoys leading a team, building great programs, and making a real impact in a community then this is a rare chance to step into a Coordinator role with genuine purpose.

Importantly, if you’re looking for more hours, the service can combine OOSH with additional hours in the preschool (ELC) to create a full-time role for the right person.
