We are seeking Qualified Teachers or Diploma qualified Educators for Lead and Assistant roles at our Long Day Care Centre in Malvern East. Catering to 120 children per day, our double-story Centre provides ample opportunity for Educators to thrive regardless of their level of skill or knowledge.  Lead roles are open across our under 3 years rooms. However, we are flexible for Educators with an interest in a particular age group to apply and discuss this with us during their interview or visit to our Centre.

This unique opportunity is perfect for candidates who have experience leading a team of Educators, or have assisted Lead Educators and are willing to work in a flexible way to support the implementation of the Educational program for children. The role requires a sound knowledge of The Early Years Learning Framework, The Victorian Early Years  Learning and Development Framework, The National Quality Standards, and the ability to work collaboratively. 

We are committed to supporting all our Educators in advancing their careers, offering many opportunities for them to be challenged and strengthen their knowledge. The Educator will receive ongoing mentorship and complimentary professional learning from experienced curriculum leaders to enhance their reflective practice skills and enable them to carry out their role successfully. 

Our Centre is very well designed to accommodate our Educators with free car parking, a relaxed staff room, and a fully equipped café for respite and relaxation. We also have ample space for ‘off-the-floor’ programming either independently or in small groups. Educators with young children are also welcome to apply. We offer significant discounts on daily fees for Educators who are also parents at our Centre. 

To be part of our Paisley Park family, the successful candidate will have:

1. An Early Childhood qualification (Diploma, University Degree)

2. A Working with Children Check

3. A Senior First Aid/Anaphylaxis/Asthma Certification

4. A Drivers Licence, or ability to navigate public transport
