“Where curiosity grows into confidence”

Two ways to get your foot in the door. Join us as an Educator, or step up into a Room Leader role. Same brand-new centre, same foundation team, room to grow either way

ABOUT BASK

Bask Early Learning is family-owned and operated, with centres in Logan, Ipswich and Toowoomba. We exist to raise the standard of early childhood education and care in Queensland. Our BASKeteers are the people who make that real, every day, in every classroom.

THE ROLE

- Position: Room Leader or Educator
- Location: Bask Ellen Grove
- Type: Permanent Part Time
- Reports to: Educational Leader and Centre Manager. Educators also report to their Room Leader.

You'll work with a team of passionate educators to deliver play-based learning for children from 6 weeks to 6 years. You'll build relationships with children and families, contribute to documentation and program planning, and create classrooms where children feel safe, seen, and ready to explore. Stepping up as a Room Leader? You'll lead your classroom's daily rhythm, mentor the educators alongside you, and take the lead on programming and reflection.

Either way, you're foundation team. You help shape the culture and practice of a brand-new centre from day one.

THE CENTRE

Bask Ellen Grove is a 120-place centre, architecturally designed, with 7 classrooms for children from 6 weeks to 6 years.
