About the opportunity?

Are you an inspiring leader with a heart for children and a passion for creating inclusive, engaging, and safe environments? If so, we want to hear from you!

At Y Victoria, we’re on the lookout for a dedicated and passionate Coordinator to lead our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program at Armstrong Creek School.

This is your chance to step into a fulfilling leadership role where no two days are the same, and your work makes a difference in the lives of 50–100 children, including those with additional needs.

As the OSHC Coordinator, you’ll be the heart of the program—designing meaningful experiences, leading a passionate team, and creating a positive, nurturing space where every child feels seen, safe, and supported.

• Design and lead a tailored OSHC program that reflects children’s interests and needs, especially those requiring additional support.
• Build strong, positive relationships with children, families, schools, and the wider community.
• Support children’s emotional, social, and behavioural development, fostering confidence and independence.
• Lead and inspire your team to deliver high-quality, fun, and inclusive sessions every day.
• Maintain accurate records while upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and professionalism.
• Connect with local networks and services to strengthen community impact and support systems.

The hourly rate for the position is $37 (ACECQA approved Diploma or equivalent) and $41 p/hour (ACECQA Approved Degree or equivalent) + ECEC retention payment + 12% super.

What We’re Looking For:

You’re more than a coordinator—you’re a mentor, a role model, and a champion for children of all abilities.

• A deep passion for working with children, especially those with additional needs
• Proven experience in education, child development, or inclusive programming
• A collaborative and empowering leadership style
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, Qikkids, and digital admin tools
• A commitment to continuous improvement, creativity, and fun!

What’s in it for me?

At the Y Victoria, we value our people. Working for us means you’ll enjoy great work-life balance and a range of benefits which improve your wellbeing and help you develop as an individual, such as:

• Dual staffing policy – when you work at a Y OSHC service, you will always work alongside another staff member, and never alone
• Free access to gyms, recreation, and aquatics centres across the state
• Discounts for your children to attend a Y Victoria OSHC service or Early Learning centre
• Supportive management teams – Supportive, inclusive culture where your ideas and contributions matter
• Split shift allowance – if you work both before and after school in the same day, you’ll receive additional loading on all rostered hours for the day
• Flexible working and rostering arrangements
• Career development, mentoring and training opportunities
• The chance to make a lasting impact in a growing school community

What do you need?

• You’ll need to have either completed or be working towards a Diploma or tertiary-level qualification as determined by ACECQA (see the link below)
• You’ll need to have, or be willing to obtain a First Aid in an Education & Care Setting certificate (or equivalent)
