We’re here to reimagine early childhood education, and we want you to be part of it. At Froebel, we believe every child deserves an empowered childhood — one that nurtures their curiosity, capability, compassion and confidence to contribute meaningfully to the world.
The Professor Lynn Corcoran Early Learning Centre: Froebel Parkville is one of 5 early learning services run by the not-for-profit provider Froebel Australia . The centre has 100 places for children from 6 months to 5 years of age and is located at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in the Parkville biomedical precinct, predominantly offering early education and care services to the employees of WEHI and Melbourne Health. Our program is shaped by immersive language learning (with a second language focus on German), inquiry-based learning through our Little Scientists program, and frequent incursions and excursions that connect us with our local community.
We offer:
- 15% Worker Retention Payment (government-funded wage supplement, currently paid in addition to salary until 30 November 2026)
- Additional paid leave over Christmas/New Year
- Weekly planning time, paid team meetings and paid overtime
- Mentoring by your Team Leader and Educational Leader
- A team where people support each other, show up with purpose, and love what they do
- Regular wellbeing initiatives and access to confidential counselling (EAP)
- Reduced childcare fees (subject to availability)
- Employee perks program with cashback, discounts and exclusive offers
- Close to public transport (please note there is no on-site parking at Froebel Parkville)
What we’re looking for:
- A qualified Early Childhood Educator (Certificate III or Diploma, please note: ECTs will not be considered for this position)
- Someone who communicates thoughtfully and builds trusting relationships
- A team player with energy, initiative and emotional maturity
- An educator excited by immersive language learning and inquiry-based STEM (no German required!)
- A robust understanding of and commitment to child safety and ethical practice
- And above all, someone with warmth, positivity, and a heart for children
