Early Learning Centre - Assistant Director

At CatholicCare Wollongong’s Early Learning Centre in Shellharbour, you’ll be part of a purpose-driven team making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. We are seeking an experienced and motivated Assistant Director to join our Shellharbour Early Learning Centre on a 12-month maternity leave contract commencing in June. This is a unique opportunity to step into a key leadership role within a supportive and values-driven service, contributing to high-quality early childhood education and care. We are committed to creating a supportive, inclusive workplace where educators and leaders feel valued and empowered to deliver high-quality early learning. Guided by our values of dignity, integrity, compassion, excellence, and solidarity, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to strengthen outcomes for children, families, and educators while gaining valuable leadership experience. We provide services supporting people across all life stages, including early childhood education, out of school hours care, age and disability support, foster care, school counselling, and parenting programs across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands, and Macarthur regions. We offer genuine career pathways and professional development opportunities for our employees. While we are a Catholic organisation, you do not need to be Catholic to join our team—just a passion for supporting people and making a difference in the community.
