Lead Educator - OSHC Room, Mayfield Early Education Brose Street

Are you a confident, caring leader who thrives in a dynamic before and after school care environment? Do you love guiding school-aged children to explore their interests, build friendships, and develop independence? If so, this could be your next great move.

At Mayfield Early Education Brose Street, we create a safe, engaging, and inclusive OSHC environment where children feel respected, capable, and excited to belong. This is your opportunity to lead a program that supports children’s wellbeing, creativity, and growth beyond the school day.

Why Work with Us?

When you join Brose Street, you’re not just stepping into a role — you’re becoming part of a connected, supportive community. We believe in empowering our educators, valuing their ideas, and building genuine partnerships with families and children. You’ll be trusted to lead, encouraged to innovate, and supported to grow.

This is a split shift position, working before and after school hours.

That means you’ll have valuable time in the middle of the day to focus on study, personal commitments, appointments, family time, or simply to recharge — while still working meaningful hours in a leadership role. You will also receive split shift allowance in line with the applicable award.  For the right person, this structure offers both professional impact and lifestyle balance.

• Mentor and guide other educators within the OSHC environment
• Oversee documentation, observations, and program planning to ensure compliance and quality
• Ensure compliance with the National Quality Framework (NQF) and Child Safe Standards
• Maintain a calm, organised, and positive atmosphere during busy before and after school periods

This is a leadership role — we’re looking for someone who can confidently take ownership of the OSHC space and inspire both children and colleagues.

• A Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (or ACECQA-approved equivalent)

• Above-award pay that recognises your skills and dedication
