The Opportunity 

Our Family Support Team plays a crucial role in the frontline operations of G8 centers, assisting families throughout the enrolment process, managing childcare subsidies and compliance, and ensuring a smooth transition into our centers.

As the National Family Support (FST) Manager, you will lead, support, and drive team success, taking responsibility for all aspects of FST and contact center operations. This role entails directly managing Regional Leads and overseeing a national cohort of FST agents dedicated to delivering exceptional customer support and experience, while also meeting productivity metrics throughout the early year’s enrolment lifecycle.

• Lead a needs-led, consultative conversation approach that enables Agents to uncover family priorities, emotional drivers, decision barriers and timing, using insights to personalise follow-up, tours and enrolment pathways.
• Embed a sales mindset grounded in care, trust and advocacy, ensuring strong conversion outcomes without pressure-based tactics.
• Monitor productivity, utilisation, call quality, customer experience and conversion performance, translating insights into clear actions and delivering consolidated, executive-level reporting.
• Identify and address conversion drop-off points across the enquiry-to-enrolment journey in partnership with Marketing, Centres and Operations.
• Build and protect the reputation of the Family Support Team as a trusted, high-value partner to Centres, ensuring seamless handover, strong insight sharing and consistent representation of Centre values.
• Establish clear service standards and ways of working that reinforce reliability, responsiveness and confidence for Centre leaders.
• Proactively identify and resolve friction points between Centres and the FST to protect relationships, credibility and shared accountability for enrolment success.
• Ensure high call quality and service standards through effective coaching, performance diagnostics and proactive system monitoring.
• Lead, coach and develop Regional Leads to build capability, consistency and a high-performance, service-led culture across the team.
