Educational Leader
We're looking for a reflective, inspiring and practice-focused Educational Leader to join our team at Only About Children McDowall.
This is a chance to guide curriculum, support educators and help create rich learning environments where children's curiosity, confidence and individuality can flourish.
About our McDowall campus
There's a trusted, established feel to working at McDowall. Set on Rode Road, directly across from McDowall State School and close to parks and buses, the single-level campus is practical, accessible and strongly connected to the local community. With long-standing ties to its Kindy Garden history, it feels familiar and reliable.
Inside, McDowall feels safe, inclusive and genuinely supportive. Children learn across six indoor spaces and three outdoor areas with a slide, climbing wall, sandpits, edible gardens, compost and worm farm. Families often describe the team as their village, with educators who support routines, transitions and confidence. It's a campus where your care helps children feel valued and inspired to learn.
You're The Difference at OAC
At Only About Children, everything starts with one simple truth: You're The Difference.
As an Educational Leader, your impact reaches across rooms, routines and educators. The way you coach, challenge, guide and inspire practice helps children experience richer learning and helps educators feel more confident in their craft.
With us, you'll see your difference in stronger programs, deeper reflection and a campus culture that keeps growing.
About the role
As Educational Leader, you'll be part of the Campus Leadership Team and hold stewardship of the campus educational philosophy, aligned with the OAC Grow Curriculum and HEART Principles.
You'll inspire, support and coach educators, Room Leaders and teachers in curriculum decision-making, critical reflection and quality educational practice, while advocating for children's rights, voice and participation.
