We are currently seeking a supportive and adaptable Play Worker to join our Newpin team in Port Kembla.

As a Play worker your role will be to provide supported play with children and their parents.

- Minimum Certificate III or Diploma in Children’s Services (Early Learning), with experience working with children from birth to 6 years
- Must hold a current WWCC
- Knowledge of child protection and mandatory reporting
- Demonstrated experience in working with children (0-6) who are displaying challenging behaviours (desirable)
