Our Early Learning Centre is located on the grounds of St Brendan’s Catholic Primary School. We are seeking motivated and experienced Early Childhood Educators to join our team who excel in understanding the needs of children and are dedicated to creating a warm, caring and safe environment.

As a not-for-profit community-based preschool, our philosophy and practice reflects the importance of early childhood play based education in the life long journey of learning and development for all.

We asked the children what they would want a new teacher at preschool to be like. Here are some of their answers:

- To be a calm teacher, kind and nice
- Talk nicely, not loud and don’t yell
- Give us good activities to do that are fun
- A teacher that can do cool things like juggle with a ball

- They should sing songs and do dances and read stories that we like
- A teacher that can do puzzles and paint at the easel
- They need to keep our room clean and help us pack away
- Give us a cuddle when we are sad and when we are happy, and look after us if we hurt ourselves

- Above award wages.
- Access to training and learning opportunities.
- An Employee Assistance Program offering free and confidential counselling and support.

**About us**
At CatholicCare, we understand the importance of children getting off to a good start in happy, creative and supportive environments that provide opportunities for children to explore, make friends, build on their strengths and get any extra help they need to set them on a positive learning journey.

Our dedicated teams of educators embrace a child’s right to play and facilitate rich learning environments which are relevant, meaningful and full of possibilities, so children are safe, happy, healthy and included. We offer a range of services for children to suit their age and family preferences including early learning and care centres, out of school hours care, vacation care and family day care.

We are a safe, respectful, and inclusive employer. **We welcome all applicants, regardless of their cultural background, gender, faith or disability**. Our organisation will accommodate any reasonable requests to support you to thrive during the recruitment process and beyond.
