Job description

Curos is a holistic after-school care centre with locations across Singapore. We're looking for a Centre Manager to run their centre like a principal runs a school - owning the experience, the team, the parent relationships, and the growth of the centre.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who leads with warmth, manages children well, and takes real pride in building something. Your focus is leading your team, growing enrolment, and making your centre the one families recommend to their friends.

What you'll be doing:

Growth & Enrolment

• Own your centre's enrolment growth and retention targets, treating the centre as your own to build

• Conduct centre tours for prospective families - telling the Curos story, understanding each family's needs, and converting enquiries into sign-ups

• Build strong word-of-mouth by creating an experience current families are proud to refer

• Work with the marketing team to translate campaigns into enrolments on the ground, and feed back what you're hearing from parents

Student Management & Safety

• Manage and engage a large group of mixed-age primary students, keeping them positive, focused, and well-behaved throughout the session

• Ensure the safety and wellbeing of every child at all times - including safe, timely transitions from school to centre and supervised dismissal

• Maintain a secure, orderly environment and respond calmly and effectively to any incident or emergency

Programme & Curriculum

• Oversee and deliver the centre's holistic curriculum - planning content, assigning duties, setting timelines, and managing resources in line with Curos' pedagogy

• Plan and facilitate special events and excursions during MOE school holidays (rotational full-day shifts required)

• Work with internal teams and external vendors to source and budget for holistic programmes; present all recommendations to leadership for sign-off

• Introduce new value-added offerings (e.g., parent talks, enrichment workshops) to deepen the holistic experience

Centre Operations

• Manage daily centre operations including scheduling, homework supervision, make-up lessons, and administrative processes

• Serve as the main point of contact for parent enquiries, billing, and ongoing relationship management

• Lead centre-improvement initiatives - identify needs, develop plans, secure leadership approval, and oversee implementation

People Leadership

• Lead, develop, and support a team of teachers and assistants

• Set clear performance goals, track progress, and provide timely, constructive feedback

• Coach and nurture team members with guidance and support as needed

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Education, Business Management, or a related field

• At least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory role

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills - able to build parent relationships, inspire staff, and collaborate across teams

• Genuinely passionate about nurturing children, with a track record of improving student outcomes and parent satisfaction

• Organised and proactive - able to manage daily operations while keeping sight of longer-term centre goals

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
