Early Childhood Educators- ECT/Diploma

2 weeks ago

Lake Illawarra, New South Wales, Australia Your Kids Our Kids Early Learning Centre Wollongong Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Your Kids Our Kids ELC Wollongong is a purpose-built, brand new modern early learning service located in the heart of Wollongong's CBD. We provide exceptional care and education to children while supporting the families and community that surround us.

At YK-OK, we champion every child's right to play, learn, and thrive. Families and communities are central to everything we do—our relationships with them shape our teaching, our program, and our daily passion for early childhood education.

About the Role

We are seeking dedicated Early Childhood Educators who want to make a real difference. In this role, you will:

  • Lead and inspire educational practice across the service
  • Mentor and collaborate with educators of varying experience levels
  • Foster strong connections with families and the wider community
  • Partner with service leaders and the leadership team to achieve excellence, continuous improvement, and alignment with regulatory standards

This is a role for someone who values teamwork, professional growth, and the chance to influence high-quality outcomes for children.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • A recognised qualification in Early Childhood (ECT, Diploma, or Certificate III)
  • A genuine passion for early years education
  • Sound knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework, National Quality Standards, and sector regulations
  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to guide and support colleagues
  • Excellent communication skills (both verbal and written)
  • A collaborative approach to working with a diverse team
  • Commitment to ongoing learning and professional development

Don't have a qualification but want to join our amazing team, we offer Certificate III traineeships for the right candidates. Open to enthusiastic individuals ages 16-21 years. No prior qualification needed. On the job training provided by a very supportive team. Earn while you learn and gain a qualification

Why Join Us?

At YK-OK, we truly value our educators—they are the heartbeat of our service. We believe in creating an environment where staff are supported, recognised, and given opportunities to grow.

Here's what you can expect:

  • A brand new custom designed, state of the art work place. Not an old house painted in bright colours or unused space in residential apartments or shopping centres, but a purpose built building to cater for educators and children.
  • A workplace that values balance, with flexible working arrangements
  • Recognition and rewards for your contributions and achievements
  • Professional development and clear pathways for career progression
  • An environment that encourages creativity, innovation, and curiosity—where your ideas are heard and celebrated
  • Above award wages. Bring your existing payslip along and we promise to better it.
  • Industry leading off the floor time for programming and planning

If you are ready to share your passion and help shape the future of early education, we would love to hear from you.
