👋 Hi there! We're the kids from Only About Children Penrith - and our days are busy, bright, and bursting with ideas! 💡🎨

We've got a veggie garden that grows faster than our snack appetites 🍓, flower beds that buzz with bees 🐝, and trees tall enough to whisper secrets to the sky 🌳☁️.

Inside, there are six rooms full of paint, puzzles, giggles, and a lot of imagination (and yes, sometimes glitter explosions ✨).

We're on the lookout for a grown-up who can keep up - a leader who can turn busy mornings into bright adventures 🌞, guide our teachers like a captain steering a joyful ship 🛳️, and help us dream, build, and discover something new every single day.

You'll be the CEO of Our Campus - the big thinker who helps our educators shine, our families feel at home, and our curious minds keep exploring. You'll get to:
🧩 Lead a campus that's full of energy and ideas (and sometimes a few muddy shoes).
🎯 Shape a culture where learning is fun, challenges are celebrated, and teamwork rules.
🚀 Take part in our brand-new 2025 Campus Director Program - designed to help you become the superhero leader you've always wanted to be!

Our campus is full of energy, imagination, and curious minds - every day brings something new! 🌈 You'll need creativity, calm, and a steady hand to guide the fun. And don't worry - you'll have a full support crew behind you, from your Operations Leader to our Education and Quality teams.

Because here at Penrith, every day is an adventure waiting for someone bold enough to lead it. 🌈💫

🎁 The Grown-Up Perks (a.k.a. Why You'll Love It Here)

💰 Above-award salary + 10% bonus incentives - because super leaders deserve super rewards!
🌴 7 weeks of leave (4 weeks AL + 2 extra + 5 PD days) - time to rest, recharge, and reimagine.
🎓 2025 Director Training Program - become the "CEO of your Campus."
💪 Support & mentorship from OAC's Education, Operations, and Quality experts.
🎉 Two Wellbeing Days every year (go ahead, make them count!).
🎁 Retail discounts, rewards, & recognition - because we love celebrating you.
💵 Worker Retention Payment: +10% pay boost now, +5% more from Dec 2025!

At Only About Children, we believe learning should feel like wonder, laughter, and discovery all rolled into one. 💛

We believe our teachers and leaders deserve the same magic - time to grow, play, and lead with pride.

So if you can turn big energy into brilliant learning, and bring your heart and humour to every day - we've saved a space for you right here under our shady tree. 🌿

Apply now and come help our Penrith crew dream, play, and shine brighter than ever! 🌞💫

Why Now

It's our way of recognising your dedication and the meaningful impact you make, every single day.
