About This Role
🌟 A Letter from Your Future Little Learners at Ferny Hills 🌟
(Room Leader Edition!)
Hello, wonderful grown-up! 👋
We're the tiny humans of Only About Children Ferny Hills, and every day here is bursting with excitement, imagination, and “Did-you-see-that?!” moments! 🌈 Whether we're digging for dinosaur bones, painting masterpieces, building rocket ships, or discovering mysterious wiggly worms in the garden, our days are full of magic. 🦖🎨🚀
But… we need a very special grown-up.
Someone who can be our Room Leader — our adventure captain, our idea-maker, our calm-in-the-chaos voice, and our guide as we explore this big, beautiful world. 💫
Here's what we're looking for in our new Room Leader:
🌱 Lead our discoveries – help us learn through play, exploration, question-asking, and “let's find out together!” moments.
🎨 Make learning magical – stories, songs, experiments, artwork, dramatic play… we love it all (especially when you join in)!
💖 Keep us safe AND curious – we like to try everything (sometimes upside down), so we need someone who's calm, confident, and nurturing.
🌟 Guide our team – you'll be the grown-up our other grown-ups look to for inspiration, planning, and bringing big ideas to life.
As Our Room Leader, You'll Get To
✨ Create amazing learning experiences full of wonder
📝 Support your team with planning, routines, and daily rhythms
🍽️ Help make our days smooth, happy, and full of connection
💡 Mentor other educators, share ideas, and help our room grow stronger every day
🌈 Bring your leadership magic to life while still joining the fun with us little explorers
And because happy grown-ups make the best leaders, at Ferny Hills you'll enjoy:
🎉 Above-award pay
🧡 Two wellbeing days + extra leave options
🌟 50% off childcare
🎓 Ongoing training, mentoring, and leadership development
✨ A supportive leadership team and a warm, joyful campus community
Bring your ideas, your energy, and your leadership sparkle — and we'll bring the giggles, the discoveries, and the warmest little high-fives. ✨
With love and messy paint hands,
Your tiny learners at Ferny Hills 🌈
