Tell us about your vacancy
You don't need to replace your existing agencies, just add a specialist option for the roles that are hard to fill. We come from the sector, and we personally screen every candidate for qualifications, experience and suitability.

A recruitment decision affects more than the vacancy
When a permanent role remains open, the pressure can extend beyond the roster. It can affect the team, leadership workload, consistency for children and families, and the service's ability to maintain quality practice. Little Leaders begins by understanding the role, the service and what has made the search difficult before looking for candidates.
What you receive from Little Leaders
- A focused role brief covering the position, service environment and practical requirements.
- A small number of relevant candidates rather than a high volume of CVs.
- A clear candidate recommendation explaining relevant experience, availability, preferences and screening status.
- Transparent distinctions between candidate-declared, document-sighted and independently verified information.
- Direct communication with Nazia from the initial brief through to commencement and follow-up.
Questions centres ask
How working with Little Leaders works
What does it cost, and when do you invoice?
Recruitment with Little Leaders is success-based. You pay nothing upfront: the fee is agreed in writing before we begin, and we only invoice once your chosen candidate commences. If we don't place anyone, there is no fee at all, and every placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee.
How are educators screened before you introduce them?
Every candidate passes our 6-Point Candidate Check: qualifications are sighted and checked against ACECQA requirements, compliance documents including a current Working With Children clearance are verified, we interview them personally about their experience and practice, and we speak to referees. You only ever meet educators we'd be happy to work alongside.
What roles can you fill?
We recruit ECTs, Diploma and Cert III educators, Room Leaders, Educational Leaders and Centre Directors, for permanent and fixed-term roles, across greater Adelaide.
How long does it take to fill a role?
Every role is different, and we start by understanding the position, your service and what has made the search difficult. Rather than a flood of CVs, you receive a small number of genuinely suitable, screened candidates, and we keep you updated at every step.
Do we need to be exclusive?
No. Most centres use us alongside their existing agencies as a specialist option for the roles that are hard to fill. There is no exclusivity requirement.
What areas do you service?
Greater Adelaide, with a focus on the north: Salisbury, Elizabeth, Angle Vale, Munno Para, Craigmore, Playford, Golden Grove, Tea Tree Gully, Mawson Lakes and surrounding areas.
No placement, no fee
You only pay when your chosen candidate starts. Nothing upfront.
90-day replacement guarantee
If your placement leaves within 90 days under agreed terms, we replace them free.
Personally screened candidates
Every educator passes our 6-Point Candidate Check before you meet them.
Fees are simple and transparent, and always discussed personally before we begin, never a surprise. Prefer to talk first? hello@littleleadersrecruitment.com.au or call 04 7782 4671
