Casual Early Childhood Educators – All Qualification Levels

Country Kids Early Learning & Kindergarten – Brighton, Brisbane QLD

? About the Role

Country Kids Brighton is looking for wonderful casual educators to join our team and become our go-to people for planned leave, training and occasional sick-day coverage.

We welcome applications from educators at all qualification and experience levels – whether you're current to Early Childhood, working towards your qualification, Certificate III qualified, Diploma qualified, or an experienced educator looking for flexible work without committing to a permanent roster.

We're not looking to build a huge list of casual educators who barely know our children or service. Instead, we'd love to develop a small, reliable team of casual educators who get to know our children, families, routines and educators and genuinely feel like part of Country Kids.

At Brighton, we value meaningful relationships, teamwork and creating a positive environment where children and educators feel supported, connected and valued.

? Our Casual Team

Our casual educators support the service by covering planned annual leave, training and other rostered absences, as well as occasional sick leave.

We're looking for reliable casual educators who can support our team when needed. With our service operating from 6:15am–6:15pm, Monday to Friday, flexibility across these hours is important, particularly for early starts and late finishes.

We want our casual educators to become familiar faces – people who know our children,



understand our routines and feel comfortable walking into the service when we need an extra pair of hands.

You might be studying Early Childhood, returning to the sector, working around family commitments, looking for additional days, or simply wanting the flexibility of casual work while still belonging to a team.
