The Role

We are looking for passionate Mainstream Education Assistants who bring energy, initiative and a genuine commitment to helping young children thrive. Our Education Assistants work alongside teachers to create engaging, inclusive and language-rich learning environments where every child is known, valued and supported. Our Kindergarten and Pre-primary programs place a strong emphasis on oral language development, early literacy, play-based learning and positive relationships. Positions may be available in the Early Childhood Education classrooms. Our children enter school with a wide range of experiences, strengths and language backgrounds. We therefore value Education Assistants who are patient, responsive and confident supporting children who may be developing English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D).



We are particularly interested in Education Assistants who possess good written, oral and interpersonal communication skills to enable the implementation of individual or small group programs. Applicants will ideally be well organised and able to use initiative to assist with the preparation and maintenance of the learning environment by maintaining equipment, materials and resources, for use in classes. Additionally, suitable applicants will assist with displays and with cleaning/safe storage of items after classes and activities.
