Due to growing demand, we’re looking for two new Family Engagement and Support Educators to join our team immediately.

- Committed to showing up and making a real difference
- Capable of working flexibly across Adelaide, including early mornings, after-hours, and occasional weekends

What you’ll do
- Support families in their homes and communities
- Model and coach practical parenting strategies, including those informed by allied health and NDIS goals
- Help implement routines and disability-informed positive behaviour supports
- Build parenting capacity with kindness, clarity, and consistency
- Promote child safety, secure attachment, and development

What you need
- Experience or qualifications in early childhood education and care, social work, community services, disability, or related fields
- WWCC, RRHAN, First Aid in Education and Care, Driver's licence & insured vehicle
- Clear communication and documentation skills
- Confidence to work independently and collaboratively

Why work with us?
Because your impact here will be real, felt, and appreciated. At Little Petal, we don’t believe in ticking boxes, we believe in real change. You’ll be supported by an engaged Director and work within a structured but flexible framework that allows you to be creative, intuitive, and purposeful in your practice. Your knowledge and compassion will make a genuine difference in the lives of the children and caregivers we support.
