Looking for your next step in the OSHC world? We’re on the hunt for an Assistant Coordinator to join our team at St Mary’s OSHC, based at St Mary’s Primary School in Ipswich. With a vibrant and welcoming community, our service provides care and education for up to 120 children.

At St Mary’s OSHC, we believe every child is unique, with their own way of learning and exploring the world. That’s why we take the time to get to know each child and their family, creating meaningful learning experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence. Our flexible, child-led program reflects the interests, cultures, and ideas of the children in our care.

Mornings at OSHC start with a relaxed vibe—breakfast, time to chat, and play before school begins. In the afternoons, we provide a warm welcome, a nutritious snack, and a mix of educator-led and child-initiated activities. 

If you’re dedicated about creating a fun and supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and grow, we’d love to hear from you!
