Early Childhood Educator

**Early Childhood Educator (ECEC) in Ballarat - Certificate III & Diploma Qualified**

**About us**

At ReadyTeacher, we understand the struggles education managers face when looking for quality relief educators on short notice. That's why we created ReadyTeacher - an easy-to-use platform where managers are able to log in, browse our selection of relief teachers, and make a booking instantly. We’re also the ultimate place for managers to find new staff for ongoing roles.

The ReadyTeacher platform connects teachers with quality Early Childhood Centres. We deliver short-term instant hires and attract new employees for centres seeking specialist educators.

ReadyTeacher is the first "agency" for ECEC to encourage its educators to become direct employees of the centres they attend through our 300-hour Employee Trial Period.

**Who we are looking for**

Ready teachers are positive, team-minded, qualified teachers who thrive on creating vibrant, inclusive learning environments and unforgettable experiences for international students. Ready teachers are organised and friendly professionals.

**You have**
- A Certificate III or Diploma in Early Childhood
- A valid WWCC and/or teacher registration
- First Aid Certificate (Preferable)
- A winning, professional and 'Can-Do' attitude
- A love of working with children and getting along
- Professional experience is not essential

**You will**
- Create and manage your Profile on ReadyTeacher, including managing your availability on your calendar
- Arrive promptly, maintain a professional appearance, depart promptly and accurately complete all necessary paperwork, including the attendance register for each day of work.
- Ensure that children have a positive social and educational experience in your presence.

**What success looks like**

In the first month, you will receive a full onboarding from our team and get yourself class-ready. You will then accept your first bookings and start attending shifts at our centres. You will get into the groove of working the rooms, connecting with children and listening for feedback.

In your second month you will know the flow and expectations of the room and you will develop your own professional approach, and if needed receive guidance from our team. You will attend a number of our centres to facilitate positive learning experiences and have consistently positive and/or constructive feedback.

In the following months, you will be constantly requested by managers in the ReadyTeacher network and have established relationships with Educators, Children and Centre Managers.
