Story House Service Leadership Team
Story House services have a Service Leadership Team (SLT) which is a distributed leadership model. We believe that the SLT model strengthens our Services, creates greater career progression opportunities and enables a stronger, more skilled educator base to support quality outcomes for children and families in the local community.
In the SLT model, the Service Manager will continue to be the most Senior role in the Service and has ultimate responsibility for the Quality and Operational outcomes, it is necessary for the Service Manager to feel supported by strong team members.
The SLT is empowered to lead and showcase their individuality in the context of their own Service community, with the goal of leading, guiding, and continuously improving early childhood practice for their service.
