Childcare Centre Director - Brand New Service Take the Lead at Jenny's ELC in Geelong!
We're growing, and we want YOU to join the adventure! Jenny's ELC is opening a brand-new centre in Grovedale in early 2025, and we're looking for an incredible leader who's ready to take their career to the next level.
This role is your opportunity to inspire a team, shape young lives, and build meaningful connections with families and the local community. At Jenny's ELC, we believe in happy children, happy families, and happy Educators, and we celebrate the amazing work our team does every day with generous incentives and endless support.

About the Role:
As the leader of our new Grovedale centre, you'll play a key role in building a vibrant, welcoming, and inspiring environment for children, families, and Educators. This isn't just a job—it's a chance to shape the future of early learning while being supported every step of the way by a passionate and collaborative team.
Here's what you'll be doing:
Leading, mentoring, and inspiring a team of exceptional Educators to deliver top-quality care and education. Connecting with families to build strong, supportive relationships and create a true sense of community. Advocating for amazing educational outcomes for children while having fun along the way—whether it's creating masterpieces with fingerpaint or building magical forts. Fostering a positive, engaging, and inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels valued and supported. Developing partnerships with local organisations and embracing the Grovedale community as a cornerstone of the centre's success. This is a role for someone who's ready to lead with heart, laugh with joy, and make a lasting impact in the lives of children and their families.
About You:
We're on the lookout for someone whose passion for early childhood education shines through in everything they do. Beyond your qualifications and experience, we want to see your energy, enthusiasm, and love for leading a team in creating magical learning experiences for children.
Here's what we're looking for:
A deep understanding of early learning best practices and the ability to advocate for exceptional educational outcomes. A gift for building relationships—whether it's with children, families, or your team. A passion for mentoring and developing Educators while sharing laughs and creating a positive team vibe. A commitment to professional growth and continuous learning. An awareness of the VEYLDF, NQF, and Child Safe Standards and a drive to deliver outstanding outcomes within these frameworks. If you've got the ability to balance high standards with plenty of fun (think off-key lullabies, sandcastle competitions, and fingerpaint masterpieces), you'll fit right in at Jenny's ELC.
