Does this sound like you?

Great communicator? Can you build strong positive relationships with all types of people from fellow Y people to educators, schools and children's families?

Are you cool, calm and collected but efficient and proactive? Can you handle tough conversations and challenges which may arise and seek assistance when you need it?

Do you have previous leadership experience? Or maybe a suitable degree or maybe you are up for the next step in your career and want the challenge of a leadership role.

Are you passionate about the early years of education for young children and do you wish to play a vital role in ensuring our services and educators in your region have the right supports (that's you!!) in place to succeed and deliver amazing child focused care?

At the Y, we believe in the power of inspired young people and if you do too, then let's chat!
