Assistant Director/Room Leader

About the Role

This is not a non-contact position. At Aussie Early Learning, our Assistant Director (2IC) / Room Leader is a hands-on, visible leader who works alongside the team and builds strong relationships through professional trust, support and collaboration.

You’ll work closely with the Service Manager to help keep the service running smoothly, supporting compliance, strengthening educational practice and empowering educators to feel confident in their roles.

Success in this position is reflected in a team that feels supported, inspired and valued. You’ll lead your room team, support programming and documentation, encourage reflective practice, maintain engaging learning environments and ensure children receive meaningful, responsive and developmentally appropriate experiences.

You’ll bring energy, creativity and a genuine passion for children, leading by example and creating a safe, inclusive and joyful environment where children can learn, explore and thrive.

You’ll be supported by the Aussie Early Learning leadership team through regular check-ins, mentoring and professional conversations to help you grow in your role and build your leadership confidence.

If you’re ready to be a leader, mentor, role model, educator and a little bit of fun along the way, we’d love to hear from you!
