We’re looking for an experienced Service Manager to lead our Diamond Creek service.

This is one service, thoughtfully designed across two neighbouring buildings with our unders in one and overs in the other.

It’s not two services to run.
It’s one aligned team, split by age for clarity and focus.

The result?
Clear routines.
Defined leadership support.
Strong collaboration.

Our 2IC is primarily based in one building, providing day-to-day stability, while you maintain oversight and connection across the whole service.

What makes Diamond Creek special isn’t the layout it’s the culture.

Children’s voices are valued here.
Learning environments are intentional.
Safety, wellbeing and belonging come first.

The service has strong community ties, including connections with local groups like the Diamond Creek Tennis Club, creating genuine partnerships beyond the gate.

You’ll lead a team delivering our STRONG Beginnings curriculum, our organisational framework guiding consistent, high-quality practice across every Story House service.





And through our partnership with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, children experience food education in a hands-on, meaningful way, learning how to grow, prepare and respect what they eat.

What you’ll get

? Above-award salary
? Leadership bonus program
? 75% staff childcare discount*
? Free First Aid, CPR and Flu Vaccinations
? Access to Sonder – 24/7 wellbeing support
? YOUR PAY YOUR WAY – access same-day pay with Humanforce Thrive
? SHEL-endar professional development with Education Specialists
? Manager networking forums
? An established, capable team
? A Support Office that genuinely supports you

And most importantly you won’t be doing this alone.

Finance, People & Culture, Compliance and Pedagogy teams are there when you need them.

The role
- Yes, you’ll manage budgets.
- Yes, you’ll oversee compliance.
- Yes, you’ll drive performance and occupancy.

But more than that, you’ll lead culture.
- You’ll protect chil
