Description du poste

Educational Leader - OAC Hampton

When my educators keep wondering, I keep discovering. They notice what I enjoy. They follow my questions. They make space for my culture, my ideas, my voice and my way of learning. They see I am not just playing. I am thinking, testing, imagining, moving, feeling and growing.

At Only About Children Hampton, you can help guide that kind of practice. We’re looking for a reflective, inspiring and practice-focused Educational Leader.

About Our Hampton Campus

At Hampton, my day feels small, homely and close to the Bayside community. I arrive on Bluff Road, near Hampton Street, reserves, buses and local clubs. The campus feels personal, welcoming and calm.

I learn in three indoor rooms and play outside under the big oak tree, in the natural yard, on the bike track, near the vegetable garden and outdoor dining area. I can make friends, try new foods, practise routines and feel safe with familiar grown-ups. This is where my day feels steady, warm and connected.

You're The Difference

At OAC, they say You're The Difference. I think that means you help my educators see me clearly. You help them ask better questions, listen to my ideas and keep learning, so I can keep growing.

About The Role

I need educators who keep learning with me. As Educational Leader, you will guide educational practice across the campus and coach educators, Room Leaders and teachers in curriculum, reflection and quality learning.

What You'll Do

• My learning feels deeper when you help educators listen to children's voices, cultures and interests.
• My progress becomes clearer when you guide the assessment and planning cycle.
• My ideas are noticed when you strengthen documentation, intentional teaching and reflection.
• My family feels included when you connect family input, observations and curriculum decisions.
• My rights and agency are protected when you champion children's participation.
• My campus grows when you contribute to QIP, self-assessment and Assessment and Rating preparation.
• My educators grow when you build their confidence through coaching and inquiry.

What You'll Bring

• Early Childhood Teaching qualification preferred, or Diploma or higher.
• Experience leading a room or team.
• Understanding of the EYLF, NQF, Child Safe Standards and inclusive practice.
• Understanding of curriculum theory and educational leadership.
• Confidence mentoring educators and leading reflection.

What We Offer

• Education assistance, qualification support and paid study leave where eligible help your own learning continue.
• Eligible team members can access childcare discounts, OAC Rewards, Wellbeing Days, TELUS Health EAP and wellbeing resources.

Child safety and inclusion

I need to feel safe before I can learn, play and grow. At OAC, child safety comes first. There is zero tolerance for child abuse and harm. Everyone who joins the team must help create a safe, nurturing and inclusive place where children have a voice, feel safe, and are valued and respected. You will need to complete all required working with children, background and compliance checks. OAC welcomes people from all backgrounds who share this commitment.
