Area Manager | OSHC / OOSH | Brisbane & Surrounds
$120K package | Personal growth focused provider
  

The Quick Details:

We’re working with an Outside School Hours Care (OSHC / OOSH) provider that’s building something different.
  
In an environment where the sector is changing fast (and where educators, families, and schools are calling for more purposeful practice), this team is choosing to grow in a way that’s ethical, people first, and intentionally values led.
  
They’re not driven by rigid systems. They’re driven by impact. And they’re looking for an Area Manager who is too.
  
  
The Role
  
Overseeing a small cluster of OSHC services (Brisbane and surrounds), this is a role for someone who can:
  

• Salary Package: $120K
• Be a mentor and motivator to others.
• Lead with a strengths based, coaching mindset.
• Support high quality service delivery and team culture.
• Build trust with schools, families, and the community.
• Make inclusion, child safeguarding, and ethical practice a real priority.

  
It’s a great mix of autonomy and support - with the scope to build strong relationships, bring your ideas to the table, and shape the day to day success of your region.
  
  
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You:
  

• Bring OSHC experience (ideally Coordinator or multisite).
• Know how to lead with warmth and impact, without ego.
• Can balance compliance, culture, and community needs.
• Are energised by helping others grow.
• Want to be part of a workplace that sees you as a professional.
• Understand the operational realities of OSHC but doesn’t lose sight of the “why” - to make a real difference in children’s lives.

  
This isn’t a ‘check the box’ AM role. This is for someone who wants to mentor well, lead change at scale, and be proud of where they work.
  
  
Why You’ll Love It:
  

• Sector specific leadership: Your OSHC knowledge won’t be overlooked, it’ll be celebrated.
• Not just a number: You’ll be trusted to lead your patch, your way, with support.
• A values led organisation: The kind of provider that embeds MTOP V2.0 and the NQF into real life, everyday actions - not just documents.
• Purposeful culture: With a strong safeguarding lens, transparent communication, and people who genuinely care about getting it right for kids, not just KPIs.

  
Child Safeguarding: 

Looking for an individual that will understand, adhere to, and promote The National Principles for Child Safe Organisations (the Child Safe Standards). In your position, you will help to take action to promote child wellbeing and prevent harm to children and young people. 

Child safeguarding methods for this position, could include, but are not limited to: 

• A NSW Working With Children Check (WWCC) or willingness to obtain.
• Thorough screening.
