Campus Director

About this role

I may not know what a Campus Director does.

But I know when the grown-ups around me feel supported.

I know when my educators smile.

I know when my family is welcomed by name.

I know when my campus feels safe, happy and full of people who care.

At Only About Children, Bridgeman Downs, you can help create that feeling.

We're looking for an experienced, values-led and people-focused Campus Director.

About our Bridgeman Downs campus

At Bridgeman Downs, my day feels big, natural and full of discovery. I arrive at a campus on Ridley Road with huge grounds and a protected nature reserve around me. There is space, fresh air and care for the environment everywhere I look.

I learn in ten light-filled studio rooms with natural materials, timber furnishings and thoughtful resources. Outside, I can play with cubby houses, mud kitchens, sand and water, bike paths, swings, slides and Bush Kindy. I can problem-solve, climb, imagine and learn from nature. This is where I feel grounded, curious and connected to the world around me.
