About this role

Assistant Director - OAC Griffin - Opening Soon!

I may not know what leadership means yet.

But I know when my educators feel calm.

I know when my family feels heard.

I know when the campus feels safe, steady and full of people who care.

At Only About Children Griffin, you can help create that feeling.

We're looking for a warm, capable and collaborative Assistant Director to join OAC Griffin from day one!

About our Griffin campus

At Griffin, my campus is getting ready for new stories. Planned to open in 2026, my campus will be on Wesley Road in a growing Moreton Bay community. It will have six age-based learning spaces, new resources and an expansive outdoor yard made for children from babies to preschoolers.

I will be able to learn in spaces designed for my stage and play outside where I can move, imagine and discover. The grown-ups who join Griffin will help build the routines, relationships and little traditions that make a campus feel safe. This is where new beginnings can grow.

You're The Difference

At OAC, they say You're The Difference.

I think that means you help the whole campus feel safe and steady. You help educators feel supported, families feel listened to and children feel ready to play and learn.

About the role

I need the grown-ups around me to be supported too.

As Assistant Director, you will work with the Campus Director to support operations, child safety, team leadership, family experience and quality practice.

What you'll do

My campus feels calmer when you help organise daily operations, routines and priorities.
My educators feel supported when you guide Room Leaders, teams, onboarding and development.
My family feels heard when you build respectful relationships and respond with care.
My day feels safer when you strengthen child safety, compliance and quality practice.
My learning feels consistent when you support documentation, reflection and improvement.
My rooms feel steadier when you step in with calm, practical leadership when needed.
My campus culture grows stronger when you support both people and performance.

What you'll bring

Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care as a minimum.
Experience as a senior educator, Room Leader, Educational Leader or Assistant Director.
Knowledge of the NQF, Child Safe Standards and relevant legislation.
Confidence supporting educators, families, compliance and operations.
Strong communication, including sensitive conversations.
Warm, practical and people-first leadership.
A Working with Children Check and relevant clearance.

What we offer

OAC recognises the care and leadership you bring through above award pay, worker retention payment and recognition programs.
Leadership development, professional learning and expert-led sessions help you support quality, people and practice with confidence.
Your pathway can continue towards Campus Director, broader operations roles or Support Office opportunities.
Your family matters too, with up to 50% childcare discount for eligible team members, paid parental leave and salary sacrifice options.
OAC Rewards, Wellbeing Days, TELUS Health EAP and digital wellbeing resources help support you inside and outside work.
When you feel supported, my campus feels steadier, safer and more connected.

Child safety and inclusion

I need to feel safe before I can learn, play and grow.

At OAC, child safety comes first. There is zero tolerance for child abuse and harm. Everyone who joins the team must help create a safe, nurturing and inclusive place where children have a voice, feel safe, and are valued and respected.

You will need to complete all required working with children, background and compliance checks. OAC welcomes people from all backgrounds who share this commitment.
