Early Learning Victoria (ELV), part of the Victorian Department of Education, has opened a purpose-built early childhood service in Portland South and as enrolments grow and our final room opens, we need additional staff!

We are seeking Certificate III and Diploma-qualified Early Childhood Educators to join our team in delivering high-quality education and care, with opportunities available both full-time and part-time and we have both permanent and casual employment options available within a supportive, government-backed workplace environment.

Additional features include:

- Contemporary facilities designed for play, learning, and wellbeing

Why Portland?

- Stunning coastal lifestyle with beaches, nature, and fresh air
- Relaxed pace of living with strong community feel
- Easy commute from nearby South Australian towns
- Affordable housing and relocation opportunities

What We’re Looking For

- Certificate III or Diploma in Early Childhood Education & Care
- Demonstrated knowledge and commitment to child safety and wellbeing, including understanding of Child Safe Standards
- Passion for high-quality early childhood education
- Team-focused, positive, and nurturing approach

SA-Based Educators welcome! Some of our team members commute daily across the border, enjoy the advantages of a VIC government role without needing to move (unless you want to!).

These positions are only suitable for Australian residents or individuals with full working rights and a pathway to permanency.
