Employment

At HeadStart we recognise our staff as a critical factor in providing quality and consistency in the care and education of children.

Staff turnover and dissatisfaction rates are typical across the Early Childhood industry.  At HeadStart we have implemented a number of initiatives and practices to contend with this situation including:

  • Extensive orientation process
  • Support and training through in house training and external courses
  • Centre equipped with play materials to higher levels then experienced at many other centres or recommended by DoCS
  • Environments with spaces designed for both children and adults
  • Contract cleaners – staff not required to do daily cleaning
  • Staff incentive scheme – to reward staff for their dedication
  • Management support with dedicated non Teaching Director and General Manager
  • Staff recognition through monthly and annual awards
  • Regular performance reviews and satisfaction surveys in order to recognise and address issues affecting staff in a timely manner


We strive to provide the best possible environment for children, parents and staff at our centres.
