Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Uniting Vic Full time
Overview

Join to apply for the Diploma Qualified Educator role at Uniting Vic.Tas

Casual position (minimum 3 days availability). This role is part of a research initiative replicating the Early Years Education Program, located in Richmond, VIC. Closing date: Sep 11 2025.

About theOpportunity: Uniting, in partnership with the Victorian Department of Education and The Parkville Institute, has opened the first research replication centre for the Early Years Education Program. This service, located in Richmond, will determine whether children recruited with the same eligibility criteria as the trial project can achieve the same learning and development outcomes. This is one of three replication sites established in Australia.

The service works with a multidisciplinary leadership team to ensure fidelity of the model. It operates with lower child-to-staff ratios, with a maximum of 48 children attending 5 hours per day, Monday to Friday, and most educators and teachers employed full-time.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to research that could shape the future of the early childhood sector in Australia.

Testimonial: "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in an ECEC centre where the ratios were better, the group sizes small, you had two hours every day out of the room for planning, mentorship and coaching, and where you could make a significant difference in the lives of children and families? The Uniting Safe Haven initiative will have those conditions and more."

Your Skills And Experience
  • a minimum one-year experience in the delivery of high-quality education and care programs to children and their families
  • hold a Diploma in Early Childhood
  • a strong commitment to quality care and learning
  • a natural ability to connect with children, families and colleagues
