Job description

OSHC Coordinator | Bli Bli - Sunshine Coast

Looking for your next OSHC leadership opportunity on the Sunshine Coast?

Join our Bli Bli OSHC service, ideally located for educators and leaders across Bli Bli, Maroochydore, Nambour, Pacific Paradise, Mudjimba and surrounding Sunshine Coast communities.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a service, build strong relationships with children, families and the school community, and create an environment where both children and educators genuinely enjoy being part of the program.

As OSHC Coordinator, you’ll lead a dedicated team of educators and take responsibility for the day-to-day leadership of the service — from creating engaging programs and supporting your team, through to building relationships with families and ensuring the service operates safely, smoothly and to a high standard.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being hands‑on, visible and connected. Someone who can bring energy to the service, support educators to do their best work and create a place where children feel safe, included and excited to come each day.

Leadership with support around you

At Catholic Early EdCare, our Service Leaders are never expected to do it alone.

You’ll be backed by a dedicated network of specialist teams, including our Quality & A&R Team, Inclusion Team, Employee Relations Team and Recruitment Team.

Whether you need support preparing for Assessment & Rating, guidance around inclusion, help navigating a people matter or assistance finding great educators for your team, specialist support is within reach.

It means you can feel confident and supported as a leader, while keeping your attention where it matters most — your children, families and team.

What You’ll Bring

You may already be an experienced OSHC Coordinator or Service Leader, or an experienced educator ready to take the next step into leadership.

What Matters Most Is Your Ability To

• Build a positive, welcoming culture for children and educators
• Lead and support a team with confidence and empathy
• Create engaging, child‑centred OSHC experiences
• Build trusted relationships with families and the school community
• Stay organised and manage the operational requirements of a busy service
• Maintain a strong focus on quality, safety and continuous improvement

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the daily operation of our Before and After School Care and Vacation Care programs, ensuring a safe and enriching environment.
• Lead a dedicated team of educators, inspiring and supporting them to bring out their best.
• Develop and implement innovative, play‑based programs that cater to our children's interests and needs.
• Build strong relationships with children, families, and the school community, fostering a sense of belonging.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and standards, maintaining a high level of care and safety.

Requirements of the Role

• Diploma in Children Services or equivalent as per ACECQA guidelines.
• Current Working with Children Check (Blue Card), First Aid, CPR, Asthma/Anaphylaxis.
• Consent to being the Nominated Supervisor.
• Strong understanding of Childcare legislation, including National Quality Framework, Standards, and My Time Our Place.
• Previous childcare service management experience.
• Child Protection training is required for this role.
• Proficient with childcare management software (Xplor preferred).
• Demonstrated leadership skills for team development.

Benefits

• Leadership Days & Programs - Offsite networking, professional development, and ongoing leadership support.
• Excellent hourly rate + generous allowances - Be rewarded for your experience and contribution with a highly competitive hourly rate, plus access to a range of additional allowances that recognise your skills, responsibilities and the value you bring to the service.
• POD Support - Connect with peers for guidance, collaboration, and shared success.
• Career Pathways - Grow into mentoring or specialist roles such as Regional Manager, Compliance, Family Support, or Workforce planning.
• Culture That Cares - We live our values: Be Brave, Be Authentic, Be Thoughtful, Be Professional.
• Recognition & Celebrations - Reward and recognition programs plus end-of-year celebrations to celebrate your achievements.
• Referral Bonuses - Refer great people and be rewarded for helping grow our team.
• Up to 95% Childcare Discount - Generous staff discounts across 130+ services to support you and your family.

A relocation allowance may be offered to the right candidate, subject to negotiation.
