As an OSHC Educator, you’ll play a key role in supporting the planning and delivery of developmentally appropriate programs that nurture each child’s growth, wellbeing, and sense of belonging. You’ll work closely with children from diverse backgrounds, including those with additional needs, and help foster a safe, inclusive, and engaging space where every child is supported to thrive.
You’ll be responsible for observing and documenting children’s development, assisting with personal care routines, and implementing positive behaviour guidance strategies. Your role will also include general administrative tasks such as managing enquiries, maintaining records, and supporting excursion planning. You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues, families, and school staff to uphold the values and standards of our Catholic ethos and the National Quality Framework.

Is competent in using Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and managing administrative tasks efficiently.

Can work independently and responsibly with individuals and groups of students, supporting structured educational programs.

Is organised, adaptable, and able to exercise discretion and judgement in new or challenging situations.
