AddressSo, you're a warm and positive communicator and you're ready to extend your leadership and planning skills? Are you looking for a supportive team who will provide mentorship, training opportunities and trust you to build you own service?
Even if you don't have OSHC experience, this could be the role for you!
Our team based in Melton is looking for a passionate and organised Coordinator for children in our before and after school care capacity. This is a permanent part-time position at 32.75 hours per week all year round - the perfect balance!
Hours will be Monday –Friday, 06:50 – 09:00 AM (Rise then Shine Program) and 02:45 – 06:30 PM (Stay and Play Program) plus 3 additional admin hours. There will also be room for holiday program shifts at a neighboring school in Melton.
About the role
Leading a team of Educators, you will manage a service at a primary school in the hours before and after school for children aged 5-12 years. You'll have the support of a state specific office, plus regional managers who regularly visit and mentor you at your service.
- Develop and facilitate an engaging child-centered program full of exciting experiences such as STEM, sport, cooking, art and craft - whatever you and the children are into!
- Foster healthy relationships with children, the school, community, and parents
- Lead a team of Educators onsite, including roster management
- Manage the day-to-day operations of your service including compliance and administration
About us
Partnering with parents and school communities, our goal is to build brighter futures by supporting children’s development through play in fun, engaging environments. We live and breathe our company values every day by being considerate, passionate, and courageous, and making a difference.
About the service
Embed yourself in this caring community as you build lasting relationships with the school and families. Based in Melton, this service already has a strong attendance of roughly 30 kids after school, which you would be able to further grow. You would be based out of a classroom overlooking the playground and basketball courts, meaning there is plenty of opportunity to create both indoor and outdoor activities for the kids to enjoy. You'll be working alongside an existing Educator with strong knowledge of the service.

- Positivity, warmth and care
