Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Froebel Australia Ltd Full time $75,000 - $98,000 per year

Early Childhood Teachers

Full-time (38hrs/week) – Froebel Melbourne

Work days: Monday to Friday

We're here to reimagine early childhood education, and we want you to be part of it. At Froebel, we believe every child deserves an empowered childhood — one that nurtures their curiosity, capability, compassion and confidence to contribute meaningfully to the world.

Froebel Carlton, Froebel Parkville and Froebel Fitzroy North are early learning services run by the not-for-profit provider Froebel Australia located in the heart of Melbourne. Our program is shaped by immersive language learning (with a second language focus on German at Froebel Parkville and Froebel Fitzroy North / Spanish at Froebel Carlton), inquiry-based learning through our Little Scientists program, and frequent incursions and excursions that connect us with our local communities.

We offer:

  • A salary well above award rates
  • Additional paid leave over Christmas/New Year
  • Generous professional development opportunities incl. Froebel's own Future Leaders Program
  • Weekly planning time + paid team meetings + paid overtime
  • Mentoring by your Team Leader and Educational Leader
  • A team where people support each other, show up with purpose, and love what they do
  • Regular wellbeing initiatives + access to confidential counselling (EAP)
  • Reduced childcare fees (subject to availability)
  • Employee perks program with cashback, discounts & offers
  • Close to public transport (please note, there is no on-site parking at Froebel Parkville or Froebel Carlton)

What we're looking for:

  • A qualified Early Childhood Teacher, holding a current teacher registration with the Victorian Teacher Institute (VIT)
  • Someone who communicates thoughtfully and builds trusting relationships
  • A team player with energy, initiative and emotional maturity
  • An educator excited by immersive language learning and inquiry-based STEM (no German or Spanish required)
  • A strong understanding of and commitment to child safety and ethical practice
  • And above all, someone with warmth, positivity, and a heart for children

Please note: the annual salary for this position is between $75,000 and $98,000 and is dependent on level of experience as per the 'Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2020'.

If this sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to hear from you. Please upload your CV and a short cover letter telling us why Froebel is the right next step for you.

Froebel is a Child Safe Organisation and an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to inclusive practices in everything we do.
