Centre Director | 4-Day Work Week | Wheatbelt Lifestyle
📍 Goomalling, WA
Are you tired of the endless 5-day grind and the noise of large-scale childcare centres? It’s time to swap the chaos for community.
We are seeking an experienced Centre Director/Coordinator to lead a intimate 19-place rural service in the heart of the Wheatbelt. This is a rare opportunity to drive high-quality early childhood outcomes while genuinely reclaiming your work-life balance.
Why You’ll Love This Role
Reclaim Your Fridays: Say goodbye to the weekend rush. This is a permanent 4-day work week (Monday–Thursday, 36 hours total).
Impact Without Burnout: Lead a small, close-knit team where you actually know every child and family by name.
The Perfect Balance: Enjoy a healthy mix of "on-the-floor" engagement and 10–12 hours of dedicated admin/non-contact time per week.
Professional Growth: Take full ownership of the service, including 1–2 days focused on finance, payroll, and grant management.
About You
We are looking for a dedicated leader who is ready to immerse themselves in our community. To be successful, you will have:
Qualifications: A Diploma in Early Childhood Education (or higher).
Compliance: A valid WA Working with Children Check (WWCC) and unrestricted Australian work rights.
Health & Safety: Current First Aid, CPR, Anaphylaxis, and Asthma certifications.
Certifications: Completed Mandatory Reporting and Food Safety training.
Mindset: A passion for rural education and the ability to manage both the "heart" and the "business" of a small centre.
