Center Director | State-of-the-Art ELC
...
Location: Perth, WA (Conveniently within 30 mins of the South / East Corridor)
Work Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Sector: Early Childhood Education & Care
About Us
We aren’t just an early learning center; we are a vibrant community hub. Perfectly positioned within 30 minutes of Perth’s thriving South/East corridor, our beautiful, state-of-the-art ELC is custom-designed to inspire young minds.
We proudly feature cutting-edge indoor learning environments that flow seamlessly into a sprawling, premium natural yard where children can freely explore, connect with nature, and learn through outdoor play. We are looking for a visionary leader who matches the premium caliber of our facility—someone who brings infectious enthusiasm, a people-first mindset, and the operational expertise to drive excellence.
The Role: What We Are Looking For
As our Center Director, you won’t just manage from a desk. You will be the heartbeat of our center. We want a true people manager—someone who leads with genuine passion, empowers their educators, builds deep partnerships with families, and fosters a culture of warmth and high morale.
Key Responsibilities:
Inspire & Lead: Mentor, motivate, and unite a large team of educators with an enthusiastic, supportive, and collaborative leadership style.
Operational Excellence: Oversee the day-to-day operations and commercial success of a large, high-performing center.
Compliance Champion: Ensure strict adherence to the National Quality Framework (NQF), National Quality Standards (NQS), and WA state licensing regulations.
Community Connection: Cultivate strong, trusting relationships with our local families and community.
What You Bring to the Table
To be successful in this role, you must be a compliance-focused professional who genuinely loves developing people and thriving in a bustling, large-scale service.
Essential Criteria:
Qualifications: Minimum Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (or an ACECQA-approved equivalent/higher qualification).
Leadership Experience: Proven track record managing a large ELC with exceptional team-building and "people manager" skills.
Compliance Savvy: Sound operational knowledge of NQF, EYLF, and assessment and rating processes.
Legal Requirements: Full, unrestricted Australian work rights.
Background Checks: Valid WA Working with Children Check (WWCC) and a current National Police Clearance.
References: Minimum of 2 professional, contactable references from recent employers.
Why Choose Us?
A Premium Environment: Work in a highly resourced, modern facility with a massive emphasis on nature-based outdoor spaces.
Strategic Location: Easy commute, situated within 30 minutes of the key South/East metropolitan corridor.
Supportive Culture: Join an organization that values your leadership, encourages autonomy, and actively supports your professional growth.
Attractive Remuneration: A highly competitive salary package reflective of your experience and the size of the center.
