- Develop and maintain strong relationships with key external stakeholders, to ensure successful delivery of the suite of programs
- Develop exciting, ‘out of the box’ early years activities that we can share with Early Years professionals, parents and children alike.
- Report to the Early Years Program manager against monthly activity
It takes a special kind of person to be our Early Years Coordinator. Our successful candidate will bring the following:
- Relevant tertiary qualifications in the areas of Education or Early Childhood
- Demonstrated experience in delivering professional training to adults
- Demonstrated experience in effective project management and delivery
- Proven experience in the Early Years sector
