Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Froebel Australia Ltd Full time $65,000 - $85,000 per year

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 St Leonards is one of 5 early learning services operated by the not-for-profit provider Froebel Australia. The service offers inspiring learning environments on 3 levels plus a rooftop playground for 99 children from 6 months to 6 years.

Our program is shaped by immersive language learning (with a second language focus on German), inquiry-based learning through our Little Scientists program, and frequent incursions and excursions that connect us with our local community.

We offer:

  • A salary well above award rates
  • Additional paid leave over Christmas/New Year
  • Generous professional development opportunities incl. Froebel's internal 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)

What we're looking for:

  • A qualified Early Childhood Educator (Certificate III or Diploma, please note: ECTs will not be considered for this position)
  • 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 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

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 Parkville 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.

Only eligible applicants will be contacted by Froebel.
