**Where every child flourishes**

**_ C&K Dixon St Early Years Centre_** is a research childcare centre offering an intensive Early Childhood Education and Care program. It aims to address a critical gap in Australia’s early childhood education and care system to adequately support children living with severe levels of family stress and social disadvantage**.**

The objective of the intensive early childhood education and care program is that children living with significant adversity will experience a stable and enriching early learning and care program and enter school as confident and successful learners who are developmentally equal to their peers.

It is an exemplar model which aligns with C&K’s strategic priorities and upholds the standards and values that are vital to our organisation. The C&K Dixon Street Early Years Centre is one of three research sites in Australia and will be supported through coaching, mentoring and professional development from the Parkville Institute.

The Pedagogical Leader has an influential role in inspiring, motivating, affirming, and also challenging and enriching the curriculum and pedagogy implemented by the teachers and educators. It is a collaborative endeavour, involving expertise, inquiry, and critical reflection, which can significantly impact on the important work teachers and educators undertake in partnership with children and families and other professionals.

**The Pedagogical Leader role with C&K is to**:

- Provide pedagogical coaching and mentoring to support teachers and educators with all aspects of program planning, implementation, and assessment in accordance with the intensive early childhood education and care program, approved learning frameworks and the service philosophy.
- Enact leadership in pedagogy and curriculum provision that responds in meaningful ways to local community contexts, family aspirations and traditions.
- Promote reflection on methods of documenting the program, which support a consistent approach within an ongoing cycle of review (planning, implementing, documenting assessment and evaluation).
- Support teachers and educators in their 12-weekly goal-setting meetings with families.

**Joining us will bring you**:

- Opportunity to contribute to research and practice that will change the life trajectories of children and families experiencing significant adversity
- A welcoming and collaborative team that are committed to providing you with all the training, learning and support you need to grow your skills and knowledge
- Low Educator to Child Ratios (1:3 under 3 years old & 1:6 over 3 years old) and small group sizes
- Holidays over the Christmas/ New Year Period (centre closes for two weeks)
