Frequently asked questions
What types of roles do you recruit for?
We specialise in permanent early childhood roles across Australia, including Educators, Lead Educators, Educational Leaders and Centre Managers. Our focus is on long-term placements that strengthen teams and support high-quality outcomes for children.
Do you only work with services in Melbourne?
Yes — we regularly support services across regional and metropolitan areas.
Can you help with urgent vacancies?
Yes. We regularly support services with time-sensitive roles and can move quickly where needed. We will always provide a clear and realistic timeframe upfront based on your location and role requirements.
What makes your approach different?
We take a values-led, verification-first approach to recruitment. This includes in-depth interviews, structured reference checks and a strong focus on long-term fit, not just availability. Our aim is to reduce hiring risk and support stable, high-performing teams.
Is there any obligation when I get in touch?
No — initial conversations are always obligation-free. We are happy to provide guidance, answer questions and help you explore your options without any pressure.
How do you support educators looking for their next role?
We work closely with educators to understand their experience, preferences and long-term goals, and connect them with services that align with their values and strengths.
Do you offer casual or temporary staff?
No — we focus exclusively on permanent and fixed-term placements. This allows us to prioritise long-term fit, consistency and team stability.
Do you offer visa sponsorship opportunities?
Most of the services we work with do not offer visa sponsorship. As a result, we generally support candidates who already hold valid working rights in Australia.
If you are unsure how your visa status may impact your job search, feel free to reach out — we are happy to provide general guidance.
I am not sure where to start — can I still reach out?
Absolutely. Whether you are hiring, exploring your next role or simply looking for guidance, we are always happy to point you in the right direction.
How quickly do you respond to enquiries?
We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours, often sooner. If your enquiry is urgent, feel free to call or text us directly.
