How to get all subpages from the current mainpage

Example, I've got this menu, and added to the pages About and Vacancies subpages, and added them in the page settings

Home
About
-- History
-- Photo's
Vacancies
-- Front-end developer
-- Full-stack developer
Contact

How can I get the current main page when I'm on a subpage? For example I'm on the main page About, than I want a list of all subpages (History and Photo's in this example)

The same for page vacancies, when I'm on the main page I want to get a list of all children pages.

I tried below, but then I get all pages of cpt 'page'. Not the children's that I need. Can anyone help please? :)

    <?php
    global $post;

    $args = array(
        'child_of'          => $post->ID,
        'post_type'         => 'page',
        'posts_per_page'    => -1,
        'order'             => 'ASC',
        'depth'             => 1,
        'orderby'           => 'date',
    );

    $parent = new WP_Query($args); ?>

    <?php if ($parent->have_posts()) : ?>

        <div class="submenu-pages">

            <ul>
                <?php while ($parent->have_posts()) : $parent->the_post(); ?>
                    <li>
                        <a class="submenu-pages__link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                            <?php the_title(); ?>
                        </a>
                    </li>
                <?php endwhile; ?>
            </ul>
        </div>

    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

child_of (and depth) are used with wp_list_pages(); not as part of the arguments for WP_Query class.

So all you need to do to make your code works (the new WP_Query() part), is use post_parent to retrieve posts that are children of the specified parent:

$args = array(
    'post_parent'    => $post->ID, // use post_parent and not child_of
    'post_type'      => 'page',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'order'          => 'ASC',
    'orderby'        => 'date',
);
