Cert Iii and Diploma Educators

**Be part of a family - not just another staff member**

**We are currently seeking motivated Cert III and/or Diploma Qualified Educators to join our Holt Early Learning Centre on a full-time/casual basis.**

Our Holt Early Learning Centre is made up of open plan spaces filled with light, natural materials, busy sounds of children, cosy nests and comforting aroma’s from the central kitchen - it is a space in which you immediately feel welcome, wish to belong and want to explore.

Our approach encourages and values learning through interrelationships, interdependence, peer scaffolding, family and mixed age interactions. Working in partnership with families is paramount in providing children with the highest quality of care and education.

We are inspired by theorists Reggio Emilia, Emmi Pikler and Magda Gerber among others. The basis of our approach is respect with our goal to raise an authentic child.

The centre is nestled within a modest suburban hub providing rich ‘indoors, outdoors and beyond the fence’ experiences of wonder. Our little community of relationships, culture and values lies within a local, national and international community recognising children as citizens of the world.

As an **Educator**, you will be a part of our centre community, vision, and philosophy. You will work closely with other educators and families as well as the EYLF and NQS to deliver high-quality Education and Care to children within our community. You will be supported and mentored by exceptional leaders and will be given every opportunity to learn and grow.
