We’re hiring a People Capability Partner (Part-time: Mon, Wed + Fri) 
Perfect for an ex–Service Manager, 2IC, Area Manager, Dept Officer or someone with real ECEC-sector L&D experience.

Ready to make a real impact, build strong relationships, and help our Story House-ers shine? We’re on the lookout for a People Capability Partner (Part-time position) with heart, hustle and seriously good vibes.This is not your average learning and development role.

You’ll sit in our People & Culture team and report to the Chief People Officer, but this is very much a stand-alone role perfect for someone who can bring ideas to life, own their work, and drive results with confidence.

If you love cheering people on, supporting growth, and bringing calm clarity to busy days, you’ll fit right in at Story House.
