You will be supported by an approachable leadership team, including our Approved Provider, Nominated Supervisor, and 2IC.

We are present, involved and committed to helping you succeed in your role.

Paid Professional Development

We provide regular, paid professional development and mandatory child safety training to strengthen your confidence, knowledge and qualified practice.

We implement the 10 Child Safe Standards and are committed to ensuring every child feels safe, heard, respected and empowered.

Work-Life Balance

We offer flexible work arrangements and a two-week closure period over Christmas, allowing our team time to rest, recharge and spend time with their families.

Other benefits can be discussed during the interview.

A Family-Owned, Community-Focused Service

TLC is a family-owned service with a strong sense of connection, teamwork and community.

You will not be treated like just another staff member. You will be a valued part of our team.
