About Goodstart Gateshead:

Nestled in the heart of Gateshead, our Centre offers a vibrant setting for children to thrive. With six meticulously designed rooms catering to 86 children, our centre provides a nurturing environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers alike. From sensory-rich learning experiences aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework to nutritious meals and essential supplies, we prioritize comprehensive care to support families throughout the day.

Our outdoor spaces are havens for exploration, featuring age-appropriate play areas that blend natural elements with stimulating manmade features. Here, children can freely discover sandpits, gardens, and even a worm farm, fostering a love for nature and curiosity about the world around them.

At the core of our philosophy is the belief in cultivating strong relationships. Each child is paired with a dedicated 'key educator' who prioritizes understanding their unique needs, interests, and strengths, ensuring tailored support for optimal development. Through community engagement initiatives and enriching activities like daily art and music experiences, we foster a sense of belonging and creativity, inviting families to embark on a transformative early learning journey with us at Goodstart Gateshead.

In this role, you will:

  • Support the Centre Director in the leadership of the team to provide high-quality early learning and care
  • Mentor and build capabilities within the centre team
  • Be responsible for the overall management of the centre in the Centre Director’s absence
  • Use and implement the Goodstart Practice Guide

What Goodstart can offer you:

  • We truly value you – that’s why we pay more. At Goodstart, Assistant Directors get at least 7% above the award rate
  • Up to 50% discount off your childcare gap fees and 6 weeks paid parental leave
  • Tax benefits through salary packaging – a great way to pay for expenses with money from your salary before tax is taken out
  • Paid professional development - we offer a range of opportunities to grow your skills and your career  
  • Wellbeing focus - you’ll get two wellbeing days included in your personal leave per year
  • Additional leave - you’ll have the option to purchase extra leave for even greater work life balance   
  • Retail discounts - you’ll save money on insurance, travel and technology
  • Security and stability - as Australia’s largest provider of early learning and care and a not-for-profit social enterprise, we exist purely to improve the lives of Australia’s children and their families

If you have previous experience as an Assistant Director or in a centre leadership position, or similar, then we’d love to talk to you about which of our amazing opportunities would be the best fit for you.
