Ipswich, Australia Ipswich Girls Grammar School Full time

Permanent, full-time role commencing as soon as possible.
- Join a team of highly skilled educators who are committed to excellence.
- Supportive School environment with a vision and values focus.

As Southeast Queensland’s only co-educational primary Grammar school, Ipswich Junior Grammar provides a high quality, non-denominational education for boys and girls from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Ipswich Junior Grammar School’s Early Education Centre (EEC) is our fun and friendly co-educational community of young learners with an intimate, family atmosphere where children are supported to develop physically, socially, and cognitively. It is a well-resourced, caring, and vibrant environment which promotes curiosity, persistence, self-confidence, and positivity. With a Reggio Emilia approach to teaching, the EEC promotes the natural development of children as well as the close relationships they share with their environment, at the centre of its philosophy.

**THE OPPORTUNITY**

The EEC has a fantastic opportunity for an experienced, energetic, and dedicated Lead Educator to join the team working alongside the Early Years Teachers. This is a permanent full-time role, working 75 hrs per fortnight.

As an Lead Educator in the EEC, you will promote positive outcomes for children and families and will assist in the delivery of the EEC curriculum in a coeducational learning environment to an early year’s class (Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines), which is guided by the ethos and values of the Centre.

In this role you will work alongside an energetic team of educators, who are committed to excellence and the provision of an exceptional learning environment for our students. This includes providing a variety of learning opportunities that are aligned to the National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, to create welcoming and inviting environments that enhance student’s confidence, while fostering collaborative partnerships with families, carers, colleagues, and the wider School community.

If you would like to make a difference to the lives of our young people, we would love to hear from you.

**WHAT YOU WILL BRING**

To be successful in this role, you will have a willingness to support the values and aims of the School, and have:
- Certificate IV or Diploma qualification in the early childhood area (or its equivalent) from an accredited tertiary institution plus experience in a similar role.
- Eligibility to work in Australia and be the holder or, or can obtain, a Working with Children Suitability Card (Blue Card).
- Current knowledge or and demonstrated experience using the National Quality Framework (NQF) and the Early Years Learning Framework with an understanding of the Reggio Emilia philosophy being highly regarded but is not a requirement of the role.
- The ability to promote an environment of dynamic, active, and supportive learning.
- Proven ability to develop confidence and self-esteem in students and to act as a role model in presentation, action, and communication.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with highly developed organisational, communication and administrative skills.

Culture fit and attitude are also incredibly important to us, so a passion for the work you do and the ability to understand and work within our vision, mission and values is paramount to your success in this role.
