2IC

Our 2ICs provide true support to our Service Managers and team members. They are a key member of our Service Leadership Team alongside our Service Manager and Educational Leader.

Our 2ICs are encouraged to challenge that status quo, effectively assist in implementing change and work seamlessly beside their service team and the wider Story House community to ensure the best outcomes for educators and children.

Watch the video to learn more about what it is like to be a 2IC at Story House.

But here, every child and every Story House-er matters. Come meet us and you’ll see.
