As Southeast Queensland’s only co-educational primary Grammar school, Ipswich Junior Grammar provides a high quality, non-denominational education for boys and girls from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Ipswich Junior Grammar School’s Early Education Centre (EEC) is our fun and friendly co-educational community of young learners with an intimate, family atmosphere where children are supported to develop physically, socially, and cognitively. It is a well-resourced, caring, and vibrant environment which promotes curiosity, persistence, self-confidence, and positivity. With a Reggio Emilia approach to teaching, the EEC promotes the natural development of children as well as the close relationships they share with their environment, at the centre of its philosophy.

This includes the compliance aspects of the Centre, such as the policies, practices and understanding of the National Quality frameworks along with the leadership and management of the EEC team. There will be a teaching component to the role so the ability to be flexible with the capability to teach will be key areas we will be looking for in this role.

In this role you will also work alongside an energetic team of teachers and educators, who are committed to excellence and the provision of an exceptional learning environment for our students. This includes providing a variety of learning opportunities that are aligned to the National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, to create welcoming and inviting environments that enhance student’s confidence, while fostering collaborative partnerships with families, carers, colleagues, and the wider School community.

If you would like to make a difference to the lives of our young people, we would love to hear from you.

- Eligibility to work in Australia and be the holder or, or can obtain, a Working with Children Suitability Card (Blue Card).

- Proven ability to develop confidence and self-esteem in staff and students and to act as a role model in presentation, action, and communication.
