Early Childhood Teacher - join an exceeding service

• Two bonus payments to be received in July and December, every year (approx 5K in total)
• Work/life balance -  you will enjoy a set shift
• Ongoing paid internal/external professional development opportunities
• Friendly, supportive, and inclusive staff culture that values quality over quantity

• An enriching work environment that fosters support and loyalty, where everyone collaborates as a cohesive team and loves coming to work.
• An abundance of learning resources
• An amazing outdoor environment focusing on the seven senses
• A separate therapy room that is aimed at empowering children individually through their more challenging moments

About the service

We have two positions available, one full-time and one part-time, three days per week.

The beautiful 3-year-old modern centre caters to more than 170 children at full occupancy and strongly focuses on inclusion. The purpose-built centre has a generous amount of space for children to roam and explore, and features six large rooms and age-appropriate outdoor play areas (with cubby houses, real sandpits, and little gardens).

There is a low staff turnover, as all staff, from Cert III Educators to leadership. Staff are paid above award and constantly recognised/supported for their efforts and impact on childrens development. 

As an ECT you will work in the Kindergarten room, delivering an accredited kindergarten program. These programs are specifically created for four to five-year-olds and will enable them to work independently and with their friends as they prepare for primary school. There are 28 children in the group, and two other ECT's in addition to the two we are recruiting for. 

About you:

• Completed Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood or equivalent (Recognised by ACECQA)
• Prior teaching experience in a childcare environment (2 years)
• Teacher Registration
• Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma, Anaphylaxis certification and valid Blue Card
• Enjoy co-collaborating, developing and maintaining open relationships with parents and fellow Educators
• Excellent communication, planning and time management skills
