OSHC Recruitment Specialists Who Know the Sector
OSHC is its own world.
Split shifts, school partnerships, vacation care, compliance, My Time, Our Place, family relationships and managing teams across multiple locations all make recruiting for OSHC different from traditional childcare recruitment.
That’s why working with recruiters who understand the sector matters.
Firefly HR specialises in Early Childhood and OSHC recruitment. Our team brings decades of experience in the education and care sector, giving us a genuine understanding of what makes a great OSHC leader – and what providers need from their people.
Whether you’re replacing a key team member, expanding into new services or strengthening your leadership structure, we’ll help you find the right fit.
OSHC Roles We Recruit For
We specialise in permanent leadership and management recruitment across Outside School Hours Care.
Why OSHC Providers Choose Firefly HR
We Know OSHC
We're not generalist recruiters trying to understand your sector from a job description. OSHC is one of our core areas of expertise, and our team understands the roles, operating environments and leadership capabilities that successful services need.
Sector-Specific Networks
We have established networks throughout the education and care sector, helping us reach experienced OSHC professionals who may not be actively searching job boards.
Leadership Expertise
We specialise in leadership recruitment, from service-level Coordinators through to Operations Managers and senior executives.
Recruiting Across Australia
Firefly HR works with OSHC providers across Australia, with particularly strong networks across NSW, QLD, ACT and VIC.
How our OSHC Recruitment Process Works
STEP ONE
We Get to Know Your Service
We start by understanding the role, your organisation, your existing team and what success looks like. That helps us build a clear picture of the person you’re actually looking for.
STEP TWO
We Search & Shortlist for the Right Candidate
We use our OSHC networks and targeted sourcing to identify potential candidates. Every candidate is screened before being presented to you, giving you a focused shortlist rather than a pile of resumes.
STEP THREE
We Support the Placement
We guide you through interviews, reference checks and the offer process, then stay connected beyond placement to help your new leader make a successful start.

Finding OSHC Leaders Beyond the Job Boards
The right candidate isn’t always actively looking for a new job.
Traditional recruitment can leave providers advertising the same roles to the same pool of candidates. Firefly HR takes a more targeted approach.
We combine our existing OSHC networks with proactive candidate sourcing to identify experienced leaders who match what your organisation actually needs.
That means less time sorting through unsuitable applications and more time speaking with carefully selected candidates.

Client
Build a Stronger OSHC Team
The right leader can have an impact far beyond filling a vacancy.
Strong OSHC leadership supports educator retention, service culture, compliance, relationships with schools and families, and ultimately better experiences for children.
That’s why we don’t believe in simply filling positions.
We help OSHC providers find leaders with the skills, values and experience to strengthen their service for the long term.
