Big smiles and bigger opportunities
We're Big Fat Smile. A not-for-profit that plays a pivotal role in the lives of thousands of children and families across Australia.

We're early education enthusiasts, with 40+ community preschools, long day care centres and fun clubs, and a variety of community and inclusion programs.

Each one dedicated to giving every child the best start in life. And each well-respected for the work it does.

Due to our size, there are big opportunities for those who want to go further. You'll find meaningful career paths with lots of promotions across our centres.

And because professional learning and growth is at the heart of everything we do, you'll have the support and knowledge to succeed.

Right now we're looking for a Diploma Educator for our Kenny Street Community Preschool.

Our qualified and experienced educators and teachers are passionate about delivering high quality early childhood education, and in engaging in strong, nurturing relationships with our children and families.


Each child has a focus teacher and our small numbers allows more time for educators to get to know each individual child personally and help them build on those ever-important fundamental learning skills.


We have a great support network from the local and wider community, including the local Primary School, which enhances our Transition to School program.


A great aspect of our centre is that it is located close to Wollongong CBD, which supports working families of the Illawarra and Wollongong region.

This position is also fundamental for our programs and involvement with the wider community through excursions and incursions.

A supportive and safe workplace


When the going gets tough (as it sometimes does in this sector), you will find teammates and leaders have your back.

There's a real in-it-together feeling here thanks to a safe and supportive environment, and well-established policies and processes that outline exactly what's expected and needed in any situation.

Everyone's in it together, making it easier for you to thrive.

We treasure the expertise of our educators
As a Diploma Educator, you will play a critical role in shaping young minds. You will create happy, healthy relationships between a child and the most important people in their lives.

You'll bring fun, laughter and play to each day, but most importantly, you'll create magical moments for children to experiment and grow.

  • Providing quality education and care to all children
  • Contributing to planning educational programs that supports a child's learning to meet their goals
  • Building strong relationships with children, families, and the community

What you need to succeed

  • Commitment to making sure the children in our care are safe and healthy
  • Dedication to improving the lives and minds of children, families, and the community
  • A funloving attitude and big smile

There are lots of reasons why a role with us is rewarding

  • You will feel supported by a Total Wellbeing Platform that gives you access to selfassessments, articles, toolkits, podcasts, perks and savings, and other resources.
