Are you a natural leader with a passion for driving operational excellence and service quality? Jabiru is seeking an Area Manager to provide both strategic and hands-on leadership to OSHC services in our North Brisbane region.
At Jabiru, you’re never just doing a job - you’re part of a team creating change, building belonging and making a lasting difference in the lives of children and communities.
Join a team with inclusive leaders, collaborative teams, and a culture of care that lets you show up as your whole self, every day.
Why you’ll love working at Jabiru
At the heart of this role is people — the children we support, the teams who care for them, and the communities we partner with. You’ll work alongside service managers to create safe, inclusive and high-quality OSHC programs where children feel they belong and teams feel supported to do their best work. By mentoring our service leadership teams, strengthening safety and quality practices, and listening closely to families and stakeholders, you’ll help services grow in a way that is sustainable, compliant and true to our values. This role is about connection, leadership and continuous improvement — helping our people thrive so children can too.
Your key responsibilities will include:
You’ll bring leadership experience within OSHC, Child Care or Education and have a strong understanding of the National Quality Framework. You will have had a proven ability to lead services that are compliant, high-quality and operationally strong.
You’re a confident, people-focused leader who can turn strategy into action, build strong relationships, and use data to make informed decisions. Organised, adaptable and resilient, you thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy supporting teams to grow and succeed.
You’re passionate about creating inclusive, high-quality programs for children and families, and you’re committed to continuous improvement and professional development.
