Job Description
Senior (level 2/3) Early Childhood Teacher (ECT)
n
This is a role for an experienced teacher, not a first appointment. We are seeking a competent, engaged Early Childhood Teacher — operating at Level 2 or 3 of the Educational Services (Teachers) Award — to lead one of our learning spaces at Majura Park (Canberra Airport).
n
The room itself is a calm, quiet space to work in — well staffed, with great families and engaged, interesting children — and you will be backed by hands‐on centre leadership and a management team that responds when you need something. What we are asking of you is genuine room leadership: setting the standard of practice, developing the educators around you, and making the room yours. If you are the kind of teacher who wants a real mandate to lead — with the authority and the support to match — this is that role.
