Be the person who keeps the day moving ?

Ashfield | Permanent part-time | 9.30am to 2.30pm

Every educator needs time to take a break, plan and reflect. Every child needs a trusted educator there when that happens.

That’s where you come in!

You will move between rooms, support different teams and give children a safe, positive and engaging experience. No two days will be quite the same, but your hours will be.

Your day, your impact ?

- Cover breaks so rooms stay supported and educator-to-child ratios are maintained

- Step in while educators have programming time

- Build warm, respectful relationships with children across different rooms

- Join children’s play and respond to their interests, strengths and needs

- Help every child feel safe, included and connected

- Work closely with educators and onsite specialists

- Keep learning spaces protected, welcoming and ready for play

What makes this role different ?

- No assigned programming. No focus children.

- You will support the learning already underway, share important information with the room team and finish at 2.30pm.

- Make no mistake, you will still make a real difference. Your work gives educators protected time to plan, reflect and recharge, while children continue to receive consistent care and support.
