Help shape the future of children in our care

As one of our highly valued Educators, you’ll support and guide children’s learning and development, so they become curious, capable and confident lifelong learners.

At C&K Yuingi Community Childcare Centre, your child will feel safe, make friends and belong. We have an open natural learning environment where the children explore, investigate, and extend their learning.

Our experienced and passionate educators foster close relationships with families, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment. They focus on nurturing your child's curiosity, building their resilience and developing their confidence - all through the joy of learning through play.

Join our team at the C&K Yuingi Centre in Oxley! We’re looking for two enthusiastic, nurturing educators to take on fixed-term roles in our supportive, vibrant environment.

The first position is a 30-hour-per-week contract for 7 months, from February 10 to September 29, 2025, covering maternity leave with the possibility of extension. This role offers you the chance to make a meaningful impact as you support our children during this critical time.

The second position is a 12-month, part-time role working Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with 27 hours per week on a 9-day fortnight roster. Scheduled from January 6 to December 19, 2025, this role requires availability between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and involves floating between our Nursery and Toddler rooms to provide warm, caring support to our youngest learners.

If you’re passionate about early childhood education and ready to join a dedicated team that values positive relationships and a nurturing approach, we’d love to hear from you!

If you believe in building positive relationships as the heart of teaching, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll bring

Whether you’re an experienced early childhood professional, newly graduated or just commencing your studies, if you’re energetic, fun and committed to guiding children’s early learning and development, we’ll set you up for success!

To thrive and succeed in this role, you will either have or be willing to work towards:

• A minimum of a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care or working towards this qualification.
• First Aid, CPR and Asthma and Anaphylaxis certification.
• Valid Blue Card or Exemption Card.
• A Police Check current within three months (or willingness to obtain one).

You will bring a passion for achieving long-lasting, high-quality outcomes for children, their families and the community alongside a team-player mindset - when you join C&K, you join a village of good-hearted, talented people, so you can lean on them as they lean on you.

Join us and find a better way with C&K - for children, for you, for always.
