Uniting Early Learning is where warmth meets wonder. We have natural play spaces and a wholesome learning environment. We are a cozy little nook in the world where children are nurtured to grow, explore, and discover their unique place in the world. Our centre is a home away from home, filled with laughter, learning, and lots of outdoor adventures. And let's not forget our team - a bunch of caring, experienced educators who make work feel a lot less like work.

About Your Role

You'll create fun, meaningful learning experiences that support each child's growth, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Your care will help build a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where children thrive.

Working closely with families and your team, you'll foster strong relationships, support each child's wellbeing, and contribute to a positive, collaborative workplace. This is a newly created role to support our full-time staff at Kirwan and Riverview to have block programming time each week. We can offer full days or school hours depending on the candidate preference.

Bachelor's degree in early childhood education or equivalent, as approved by ACECQA. If you are halfway through your degree, or already have an Early Childhood Diploma and willing to obtain a Bachelor degree, we can work with that!

Deep understanding of current early childhood education practices, legislation, and child development.
