Early Childhood Room Leader | Richmond NSW

Room Leader – Richmond NSW

Are you ready to lead your own room in a centre where educators stay, families feel at home, and children thrive?

QuickCare is proud to be partnering with a highly regarded early learning service in Richmond to find their next Room Leader. This is a centre built on consistency, connection and genuine care. Many of their team have been there for years, some for well over a decade. That longevity is their greatest strength. It means children are cared for by familiar faces, families build trusted relationships, and every new team member joins a supportive, experienced group who truly have each other’s backs.

The role

Our client is looking for a passionate and motivated educator to join their team now and step into a Room Leader position from January. Starting now gives you the chance to settle in, get to know the children, families and team, and build strong relationships before taking the lead in the new year.

Why you’ll love this centre

• A long-standing, close-knit team with a culture of respect and collaboration
• Supportive leadership who genuinely value your ideas and wellbeing
• Strong community connections and loyal families who have been with the centre for years
• Beautiful indoor and outdoor learning spaces
• Ongoing professional development and opportunities to grow your career
• Paid programming time to plan and reflect

About you

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong experience in programming and documentation, with a confident, reflective approach to planning for children’s learning
• Sound knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standard
• Experience in a similar leadership position, with the ability to guide, motivate and support a team
• A warm and bubbly character that brings energy and joy to the room, and helps children and families feel instantly at ease
