Early Childhood Teacher | Parkhurst Early Learning

Full-Time or Part-Time | Flexible Hours Available

Parkhurst Early Learning is looking for a warm, passionate and dedicated Early Childhood Teacher to join our growing team.

We understand that the right role needs to work for your life as well as your career. That’s why we’re open to full-time or part-time hours, with flexibility around working arrangements for the right person.

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

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

What We’re Looking For

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.

We’re looking for someone with:

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

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.

Flexibility That Works for You

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





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

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

What We Offer

- Flexible full-time or part-time employment options
- A welcoming and supportive team environment
- Professional development, mentoring and opportunities to grow
- A workplace where your knowledge, ideas and teaching expertise are valued
- Flexibility to support work-life balance
- Generous childcare discounts for team members
- Paid First Aid, CPR and Child Protection training
- Non-contact programming time
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- The opportunity to play an important role in the continued growth of Parkhurst Early Learning
