You could be our new Nursery Room Leader ready to release your early years education passion, playing a crucial role in the education and social development of babies (0-2 yrs). But let’s face it, you work to live! You’ll also enjoy the new Broome beachside lifestyle with hip and happening restaurants, facilities and soak up the local national parks, camping, fishing, diving and relish your awesome perks below.

You’ll lead a close-knit team of educators, ensuring our children enjoy an inclusive, safe, hygienic, and inspiring environment that will feel warm and welcoming to both the children and families. You’ll promote our ‘School ReadY’ program and manage compliance. At the end of your shift, you’ll walk out the door (still smiling) knowing the children are continuing to develop in body, mind, and spirit.
