**For Children. For You. For Always.**

Are you ready to make a difference that lasts a lifetime?

At C&K, our purpose is to make a positive impact on children’s lives. It’s what we’ve been doing for more than 115 years. Through evidence-based thinking, hard work and true compassion, we’ve built a trusted reputation as Queensland’s leading provider of early childhood education.

Join us and find a better way with C&K - for children, for you, for always.

**Find your Better Way**

Every C&K career helps children belong and grow. We want the same for you and joining C&K means impacting a child’s life journey for the time they spend with us and long after they leave. But, so much of what we do depends on you.

We’ll set you up for success with a range of benefits, programs and opportunities to help you earn, be well and grow.
- Get a better deal with a wage rate of $31-$35 per hour plus salary sacrificing options.
- Live, work and be well with our Employee Assistance Program for you and your family.
- Find a healthy work-life balance with parental leave, return-to-work support, and family-friendly priority access to C&K childcare centres.
- We fully fund your Blue Card, Police Check, First Aid, CPR, and Asthma and Anaphylaxis certification.
- Save money with childcare discounts for eligible employees with children enrolled at a C&K Branch Centre.
- Access a nationally recognised qualification in the high-demand field of early childhood education and care with subsidised training for eligible students through the C&K College.
- **Scholarships of up to $6000 for eligible Educators who are working towards their Diploma qualification under the Qualifications Pathways Program (QPP).**:

- **Are you working towards your Early Childhood Teaching qualifications? Eligible students can access up to $35,000 in scholarship subsidies under the Qualifications Pathways Program (QPP) to provide you with the support and skills to progress your early childhood career.**

**Help shape the future of children in our care**

As one of our highly valued Lead Educators, you’ll support and guide children’s learning and development, so they become curious, capable and confident lifelong learners.

At C&K Caloundra Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning five days a week from 6.30am to 6:00pm.

As a home away from home, our environment provides a safe, secure and supported space for your child. Our dedicated, friendly and qualified staff nurture play-based learning, fostering a life-long love of learning. Our families love our large natural outdoor area, where we encourage children to explore, discover, play and engage in nature.

Using your skills, ideas and passion for education, you’ll help shape the future of children in our care by collaborating with your team to create a safe, supportive and engaging play-based learning environment for children, their families and our wider community.

**What you’ll bring**

Whether you’re an experienced early childhood professional, newly graduated or just commencing your studies, if you’re energetic, fun and committed to guiding children’s early learning and development, we’ll set you up for success

To thrive and succeed in this role, you will have or be willing to work towards:

- A minimum of a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care or willingness to commence studying that qualification.
- First Aid, CPR and Asthma and Anaphylaxis certification.
- Valid Blue Card or Exemption Card.
- A Police Check current within three months (or willingness to obtain one).

You will bring a passion for achieving long-lasting, high-quality outcomes for children, their families and the community alongside a team-player mindset - when you join C&K, you join a village of good-hearted, talented people, so you can lean on them as they lean on you.

**Join us and find a better way with C&K - for children, for you, for always.**
- C&K is a child-safe organisation and all C&K employees are required to undergo a police check and not be a ‘_Restricted Person_’ or Suspended Educator under the QLD Blue Card System._
