A key part of the role is overseeing assessment and rating visits by the regulatory authority and preparing the team so that all quality areas are consistently met and continuous improvement is embedded in everyday practice. You will recruit, supervise, roster and develop a capable and engaged team of educators, creating a supportive culture in which they can do their best work. Together you will design, program and evaluate quality experiences that meet children's physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs, and you will plan and deliver an engaging Vacation Care program, including excursions and incursions, during non-term time.

Alongside the program, you will manage the operational side of the service, including enrolments, family payments, Child Care Subsidy claims and the annual budget, working in partnership with the College Finance team.
