Are you a passionate educator with a Certificate III or Diploma in Children's Services (or working towards it)? Are you looking for a meaningful role where you can make a genuine impact in the lives of children every day? If so, we'd love to hear from you

At Living Faith Early Learning Centre, we're on the lookout for nurturing, committed educators to join our team in beautiful Petrie. Whether you're seeking full-time stability or part-time flexibility, we have a place for you to grow and thrive.

Why Choose Living Faith?

Nestled in the natural beauty of Petrie, Living Faith Early Learning Centre is more than just a childcare service — it's a warm, inclusive community where children feel a deep sense of belonging. Our beautiful indoor and outdoor environments are designed to spark curiosity and support each child's unique learning journey.

We follow a play-based approach, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, with a strong focus on communication, emotional wellbeing, and spiritual development. Every day, we create meaningful experiences that inspire young minds — and we have a lot of fun along the way

Responsibilities

As an Educator at Living Faith, you'll be a key part of a passionate, supportive team that puts children's needs first. You'll:

  • Engage children in fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and build confidence.
  • Create a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child feels welcome and supported.
  • Develop and deliver programs aligned with the National Quality Framework and tailored to each child's interests and needs.
  • Build strong, respectful relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
  • Collaborate closely with your team to provide high-quality care and education.
  • Help maintain a clean, organised, and safe learning space.

What We're Looking For

We're searching for someone who brings enthusiasm, empathy, and a genuine love for early learning. Ideally, you'll have:

  • A Certificate III or Diploma in Children's Services (or be actively working towards it).
  • Experience working in an early learning setting (preferred).
  • Solid understanding of the National Quality Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework.
  • A current Blue Card, along with First Aid, CPR, Asthma, and Anaphylaxis certifications.
  • Strong communication skills and a team-focused mindset.
  • A commitment to nurturing children's growth — socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
  • A willingness to support the Christian ethos of our service.
  • Completed relevant Child Protection Training course (as per Section 162A of the Education and Care Services National Law)
  • Food Handling experience (desired but not essential).

What We Offer You

  • Professional development and career progression opportunities.
  • 2 weeks off over the Christmas Break
  • Dedicated events for upskilling throughout the year
  • The chance to work for a not-for-profit organization that values and supports its employees, families, and children.
  • Access to an Employee Assistance Program.
  • Paid time to complete training courses by In Safe Hands
  • Access to a Pedagogical Manager and supportive management team
