About Us:

At Firefly HR, we redefine what it means to find exceptional talent in the education and care profession. We work exclusively with a select group of exceptional clients and candidates, ensuring that only the best are connected with the highest quality opportunities - like this one.

Centre & Community Director (ECE) – Western Sydney

We’re partnering with a small, family-owned early learning provider to find their next Centre & Community Director.

This is a role for someone who cares about more than just rosters and ratios. You’ll be trusted to lead with integrity, keep children at the heart of every decision, and guide teams in a way that strengthens both the service and the community it belongs to.

Why this role is different:

• Stand alone provider - no corporate red tape, just direct partnership with an owner who values quality and community.
• Trusted autonomy - you’ll be supported, not micromanaged, and given the space to lead while knowing help is there if you need it.
• Strong foundations - a well established service with organised systems, stable teams, and an engaged parent community.
• Flexibility - full-time or part-time, 4 days or 5, flexible for the right person.
• Room to grow - step confidently into a Director role with the potential for broader leadership scope as the organisation evolves.
  
  

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• See compliance and the NQF/EYLF as tools to empower your team, not just boxes to tick.
• Want a role that’s sustainable for you - whether that’s through flexibility, scope, or future growth opportunities.
• Lead with positivity and create cultures where educators feel valued and supported.
• Build genuine partnerships with families, educators, and the wider community, keeping children’s belonging, being and becoming at the centre of every decision.
• Bring the confidence to lead independently, drawing on your experience as a Director or as a capable 2IC/AD ready to step up.

What’s on offer :

• Salary from $95K - $105K for single-service leadership, with higher packages available for dual-site scope depending on experience.
• Trusted leadership – the space to focus on quality, compliance, and people, with systems already in place.
• A genuine partnership with an owner who values quality, community contribution, and long term stability.
• Future growth opportunities.

This is a role where you can bring your whole self as a leader - shaping quality practice, building strong teams, and seeing the direct impact of your work every day.

If this sounds like the right step for you, apply now or reach out to Firefly HR for a confidential discussion. We proudly support providers who are serious about quality and community, and we’d love to introduce you to this one.
