Are you looking for a new challenge and amazing job satisfaction? Would you like the flexibility of being able to work around kinder/school drop-offs/pick ups, with no requirement to work during the school holidays? Would you like to join our dynamic team delivering our award-winning programme to parents and their babies?

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our team and lead Baby Sensory classes in Richmond (Mondays) and Port Melbourne (Tuesdays).

Full Training is provided and while no formal qualifications are necessary; reliability, organisation, confidence and enthusiasm are absolutely key to this role.

About You

We’re looking for someone who can engage a room with enthusiasm whilst being tuned into the vibe of the group; ensuring that every parent and baby is relaxed and able to participate to the extent that they feel comfortable at any given time.
If you are currently studying or have children at school/kinder or in day care and are therefore not looking for full-time work - this position may be ideal as the daily work hours are 5.5 hours a day and can be arranged to accommodate drop offs and pick ups. There is a minimum requirement to work 40 weeks per year which we can match to the Victorian school terms meaning you never have to work during school or kinder holidays.

You need to have your own car with a good sized boot and be relatively physically fit as there is some lifting and bending required, and plenty of walking.

To be successful, you will need to be able to work flexibly from home when preparing for classes (you are paid weekly for a three hour block of prep time which you can do whenever and wherever suits you; this time includes collecting the kit needed to run classes), as well as working on-site at two of our locations to run classes on Mondays and Tuesdays (on site days are 5.5 hours and have the potential to increase with demand at the choice of the employee).

Here’s some additional buzz words we would use to describe the personality of our ideal Class Leader:

Warm, friendly, nurturing personality

Trustworthy, honest and reliable

Have a strong attention to detail

Great at solving problems/thinking creatively

Self motivated and positive

Outgoing and fun

Exceptional Communicator

Open to New Ideas and Feedback

Enthusiastic and energetic

Positive and Solutions-Focused

A team player

no formal qualifications are required but the successful applicant will hold (or be willing to get) a full driving licence, WWCC and First Aid certificate

What's it like being a Baby Sensory Class Leader?

You would begin by shadowing Ellie and, once familiar with setting up and how our days run, you would start leading some activities. Online Baby Sensory Class Leader training is facilitated by Head Office and will run on 6th and 7th August. Attendance at this online training is compulsory. By the end of this virtual training and your shadowing period (which can take a whole term if you would like it to) you will feel fully prepared and will be able to confidently lead classes in your two venues.

As a Baby Sensory Class Leader each week you will:

Pick up the equipment required for the classes that week from our storage base and pack into your car for transport to the class venues (equipment required for classes is different every week).

Prepare and practice at home (remuneration for this is included in the salary package, as is the time required to collect and return the equipment) – ensuring that you are confident in delivering activities and developmental information, and that you know the music well enough to sing along

Unload and set up equipment at the venue in time for families to start arriving.

Lead 3 Baby Sensory classes; following a detailed lesson plan that you have already prepared for

Clean, sanitise and re-set equipment between classes.

Pack up and sanitise equipment in preparation for the next day of classes.

Take lots of gorgeous photos and videos of babies and their parents enjoying your classes so we can show off on social media.

Repeat the above the following day before dropping the equipment back to our storage unit.
