Full Job Description

Early Foundation Childcare Craigieburn is a family-owned early learning centre built around calm environments, strong relationships, quality education, and genuine family partnerships.

We care for children from 6 weeks to 6 years and believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, valued, and confident to grow. Our centre is purpose-built, warm, welcoming, and community-focused.

We are looking for the right 2IC to join our leadership team and help shape the next stage of our centre.

This is an important role for us. We are not simply looking for someone to fill a position — we are looking for someone who can bring leadership, consistency, care, accountability, and strong early childhood knowledge to our team.

About the Role

As our 2IC, you will work closely with the management team to support the day-to-day running of the centre.

You will help guide educators, support compliance, build strong relationships with families, maintain high standards across rooms, and contribute to a positive team culture.

This role suits someone who is confident, organised, warm, and proactive — someone who can lead with kindness while still upholding expectations.

You will be an important support to the Director and a trusted point of contact for educators and families.

Key Responsibilities, Leadership & Team Support

Support the Management Team and Centre Direcotr with daily centre operations.
Act as responsible person when required.
Assist with room coverage, rosters, breaks, ratios, and daily staffing needs.
Guide, support, and mentor educators across the centre.
Help maintain a positive, respectful, and professional team culture.
Lead by example in communication, presentation, punctuality, and professionalism.
Support new educators with induction, routines, expectations, and centre procedures.

Compliance & Quality

Help ensure the centre meets the National Quality Framework, National Regulations, and National Quality Standards.
Support safe supervision, hygiene, child protection, incident reporting, medication, allergy, safe sleep, emergency, and food safety procedures.
Assist with daily compliance checks and room expectations.
Support documentation, observations, programming, and reflective practice.
Help contribute to the centre’s continuous improvement and quality practices.

Families & Communication

Build warm, professional relationships with families.
Support enrolments, orientations, settling-in periods, and parent enquiries.
Communicate clearly and respectfully with families about their child’s day, routines, wellbeing, and development.
Help ensure families feel welcomed, reassured, and connected to the centre.
Support the use of OWNA for family communication and centre updates.

Children & Learning Environments

Support educators to create calm, engaging, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environments.
Ensure children are treated with warmth, respect, and genuine care.
Promote play-based learning, positive behaviour guidance, and strong educator-child relationships.
Step into rooms when needed and remain actively connected to the children and daily program.

What We’re Looking For

The right person for this role will be:

Warm, reliable, and highly organised.
Confident supporting educators and families.
Calm under pressure and solutions-focused.
Strong in communication and follow-through.
Passionate about high-quality early childhood education.
Comfortable holding standards while still being kind and approachable.
Able to take initiative without needing constant direction.
Committed to child safety, compliance, and professional practice.
Someone who genuinely cares about building a strong centre culture.

Essential Requirements

Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, or ACECQA-approved equivalent.
Experience in an early childhood education and care setting.
Previous leadership experience preferred, such as Room Leader, 2IC, Educational Leader, or senior educator.
Current Working with Children Check.
Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma and Anaphylaxis training.
Strong understanding of EYLF, NQF, NQS, and early childhood regulations.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Experience using OWNA or similar childcare management software is highly regarded.

What We Offer

A supportive, family-owned centre environment.
Opportunity to play a meaningful leadership role in a growing service.
A warm and purpose-built learning environment.
Supportive management that values communication, care, and professionalism.
Opportunity to help shape centre culture, systems, and quality standards.
A team that genuinely wants to build something special for children and families.

About You

You understand that a strong 2IC can make a huge difference in a childcare centre.

You care about children, but you also understand the importance of supporting educators, reassuring families, maintaining compliance, and keeping the centre running smoothly.

You don’t wait to be told what needs to be done — you notice, support, guide, and follow through.

Most importantly, you want to be part of a centre where relationships, safety, quality, and community genuinely matter.

How to Apply

If this sounds like the right role for you, we would love to hear from you.

Please apply with your resume and a short cover letter telling us about your experience, leadership style, and why you would be a great fit for Early Foundation Childcare Craigieburn.

Job Types: Part-time, Permanent

Pay: $30.00 – $36.00 per hour
