n

This is an opportunity to become part of a service that is growing, evolving and building something special. We're looking for an ECT who is passionate about high-quality early childhood education, values strong relationships and wants to make a genuine difference for children and families.

What You'll Be Doing

n

n
- Develop and implement a high-quality Kindergarten program aligned with the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG) and EYLF
n
- Create engaging and intentional learning experiences that build children's curiosity, confidence and sense of belonging
n
- Lead the planning cycle through observations, documentation, assessment and meaningful reflection
n
- Build strong, respectful partnerships with children and families
n
- Create safe, inclusive and inspiring learning environments where children feel secure, capable and valued
n
- Work collaboratively with educators and leadership across the service

What We're Looking For

n

We're not simply looking to fill an ECT position.



We want someone who genuinely cares about the work they do and the relationships they build along the way.

n

We're looking for someone with:

n

n
- A Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education, or other recognised equivalent qualification
n
- Strong knowledge of the QKLG, EYLF and NQS
n
- Experience or confidence in developing and delivering an engaging Kindergarten program
n
- Strong planning, programming, observation, documentation and assessment practices
n
- A genuine commitment to child safety, wellbeing and ensuring children's voices are heard
n
- The ability to build warm and respectful relationships with children, families and colleagues
n
- A collaborative, positive and solutions-focused approach
n
- A commitment to ongoing learning and continuous improvement
n

n

Most importantly, we're looking for a teacher who cares — someone who celebrates the little wins, recognises every child's individual strengths and understands just how powerful the relationships built during the early years can be.

n

Flexibility That Works for You

n

We know great educators have different needs and commitments, so we're happy to have a conversation about what works.

n





Whether you're looking for full-time hours, part-time hours or greater flexibility in your working week, we encourage you to apply.

n

For us, finding the right person is just as important as finding the right availability.

n

n

n
- Flexible full-time or part-time employment options
n
- A welcoming and supportive team environment
n
- Professional development, mentoring and opportunities to grow
n
- A workplace where your knowledge, ideas and teaching expertise are valued
n
- Flexibility to support work-life balance
n
- Generous childcare discounts for team members
n
- Paid First Aid, CPR and Child Protection training
n
- Non-contact programming time
