About us- Old MacDonald's Child Care (OMCC) is a purpose-built service where children grow and learn in a healthy farm like environement. Our service and team are committed to prioritising the safety and protection of children by placing them at the forefront of all decisions.

We are seeking a part-time (5 days per week), experienced Certificate 3 Educator to join our team. Full time may be considered.

OMCC outdoor play environments incorporate our natural rural surroundings and encourage all children to explore their senses while learning about the environment, sustainability, animals and growing and caring for plants.

This is a rare opportunity to work in suburbia on 6.5 acres with animals (cow, sheep, alpaca, goats, rabbits and chickens), go on tractor/ trailer rides with the children and educate the children to develop skills to care for and nurture animals.

About the position- Seeking applicants with a solid understanding of child safe practices and who are familiar with the NSW Child Safe Standards. Previous experience as an effective Assistant will help the successful applicant communicate and be an effective team to complete observations, curriculum documents and the planning cycle to guide children to learn through play. A warm, friendly, flexible, can-do attitude will enable you to be an effective Assistant with professional communication skills.

Partnerships with colleagues, children, families, and other professionals to share decision-making, engage in conversation, and reflect critically on different theoretical and philosophical approaches to the pedagogy are fundamental to our daily practices.

Come and join the dedicated and experienced OMCC team.
