Partnering with parents and school communities, at Junior Adventures Group (JAG) our goal is to help today’s children navigate their tomorrow by supporting children's development through play in fun, engaging environments. We live and breathe our company values every day by being considerate, passionate, courageous, and making a difference.

Ready to take the next step in your OSHC leadership career?

You've built experience as an Educator or Assistant Coordinator. You know how to create engaging experiences for children, support families and contribute to a positive service culture. Now you're ready for more.

Join a thriving, OSHC service in Melbourne's growing Berwick region and build the skills, confidence and experience needed to become a successful leader. You'll mentor Educators, strengthen your operational expertise and be supported by experienced leaders who are invested in your growth. Based at Beaconsfield Primary School, this is a genuine opportunity to step into leadership while continuing to make a meaningful impact in your local community.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Earn up to $40 per hour including allowances, plus super
• Permanent part-time role offering 30 hours per week
• Lead and support a passionate team of Educators
• Receive mentoring from experienced Regional Managers
• Develop skills in leadership, operations and service management
• Clear pathway into future Coordinator and Service Manager opportunities

About the Service

Located just minutes from central Berwick, the service at Beaconsfield Primary School is a well-established and highly regarded part of the local community.

Supporting between 45 and 70 children each day, the service is known for its strong relationships with children, families and the school community. The environment is welcoming, supportive and genuinely focused on children's wellbeing and development.

Sustainability and outdoor learning are at the heart of the program. With access to fantastic outdoor spaces, children are encouraged to explore, create, garden and connect with nature through meaningful play-based experiences.

The service is easily accessible from Berwick, Narre Warren, Officer, Clyde North, Pakenham and surrounding south-east suburbs.

• Lead, coach and support a team of Educators
• Help manage daily service operations

• Create engaging programs across sport, STEM, wellbeing, cooking and creative arts
