Edge Early Learning is a young and dynamic network of early childhood education and care centres across Queensland, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory, guided by our values of Leadership, Community and Wellbeing. Our community is small enough to have a family feeling and connected community, but large enough to have beautiful centres, a flexible and well-supported curriculum, and great centre resourcing. We are on a mission to become the best ECEC provider for both families and team members alike.
We have an exciting opportunity for an Area Manager to join us in Brisbane or the City of Logan area.
