Educational Leader & Room Leader | Kariong
Preschool Room Leader & Educational Leader | Kariong, NSW
Lead. Mentor. Inspire. Two leadership roles, one incredible opportunity.
Are you a confident early childhood leader ready to shape both a preschool room and the educational heartbeat of a service? This well-established Kariong centre is looking for someone who thrives on mentoring, loves a great curriculum challenge, and wants real ownership over their professional impact.
Why This Role Stands Out
Dual leadership — combine Preschool Room Leader and Educational Leader responsibilities in one dynamic position
Genuine support — a leadership team invested in your growth, not just your output
Values-driven culture — join a high-quality, well-regarded service that walks the talk
Protected EL time — dedicated time off the floor to actually do your Educational Leader duties justice
What You'll Be Doing
You'll lead the daily rhythm of the preschool room while stepping into a broader mentoring role across the service — working hand-in-hand with the Centre Director to drive curriculum outcomes aligned with the EYLF and NQS. Think reflective practice conversations, school-readiness programming, and building educators up to do their best work.

- Drive educational programs and curriculum development service-wide
- Mentor and support educators through reflective practice

- Champion high-quality practice and compliance standards
What You'll Bring
- Diploma or Bachelor qualification in Early Childhood Education (ACECQA approved)

- Previous Educational Leader experience (a bonus, not a dealbreaker)
- Solid grasp of EYLF, NQS, and curriculum planning
- Confident, warm leadership and mentoring skills
- Genuine passion for high-quality early learning
- Full working rights in Australia (sorry, no student visas for this one)
On Offer
