Our staff are dedicated professionals who value the importance of maintaining an optimum level of care and education for all children. We select our staff based on knowledge and values, vision for children and learning, and commitment to families.

This is not just another Centre Director role

This is an opportunity to lead one of our service in Kurri Kurri, a well-known, high-performing 74-place centre.

Located in the Hunter Region NSW, Kurri Kurri offers affordable living, a strong community feel and easy access to Newcastle, beaches and wine country.

You will be supported from day one with a structured 4-week induction, along with ongoing guidance from an experienced leadership team.

About the Role

You are leading the centre, but your real focus is your people.

Building and maintaining a strong team culture
Developing your educators and leaders
Driving consistent, high-quality practice aligned with EYLF and NQS
Maintaining strong relationships with families and the local community
Overseeing compliance, occupancy and overall centre performance

You will also have real autonomy in how you run your centre, including ownership of your budget and the ability to make decisions that support your team, families and service outcomes.

You are not just managing the day-to-day. You are responsible for the overall success and direction of the service.

Why Join Us?

Little Zak's Academy was one of the first approved providers nationally to participate in this initiative, ensuring our team could access these additional benefits from the commencement of the program.
4-week structured induction with established systems, strong foundations and supportive leadership
Paid birthday leave and an additional wellbeing day each year for Centre Director (after 12 months)
Health and wellness allowance reimbursing up to $50 per month (gym, pool, wellness memberships)
$1,000 employee referral bonus for each successful referral
Study allowance for your Early Childhood Teaching degree (T&Cs apply)
Employee Assistance Program via Sonder, offering unlimited confidential counselling and wellbeing support
Strong promote-from-within culture with long-term career opportunities

About You

Comfortable taking on the responsibilities of Nominated Supervisor
Strong leadership and people management skills
Sound understanding of EYLF, NQS, National Regulations, and compliance requirements
Demonstrated ability to drive occupancy, team performance, and service outcomes
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
