**About Us**

At UEL The Gap, our Centre prides itself on community spirit and strong family connections. We have created a morning ritual of gathering as a whole centre, giving thanks to our custodians, the Jugerra people. Our children spend their day developing and exploring their physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive self through play.

The outdoor spaces with native bees, worm farm, herb garden, flora and mud kitchen introduce children to the natural world and to explore their curiosity and imagination.

The Uniting Church in Queensland has been serving families through childcare services, run by congregations and other church organisations such as Wesley Mission Queensland and UnitingCare since 1964. Now under Uniting Early Learning, our objectives are mission based rather than profit based. We prioritise the delivery of quality learning outcomes for our children and a values-based philosophy.

More broadly, the Uniting Church in Australia is a large uniquely Australian Christian denomination in Australia. In Queensland, we have around 250 congregations and has schools, colleges and large community services. The depth and diversity of our ecosystem reminds us that we're part of something bigger.

We believe:

- In cooperating to make the world a better place
- In the inherent value of all people
- In the human need for connection, acceptance and trusted relationships
- That communities are strengthened when everyone is supported
- That by working together we can achieve great things

We value our people, as such:

- We focus on your continued professional development.
- We support your wellbeing through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) partner, Benestar.
- We have a Reward and Recognition framework to recognise and reward individuals and teams for their contributions.
