Early Childhood Educators

Full-time (37.5 hrs/week) – Froebel Parkville

Work days: Monday to Friday

Start date: January 2026

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.

The Professor Lynn Corcoran Early Learning Centre: Froebel Parkville is one of 5 early learning services run by the not-for-profit provider Froebel Australia. The centre has 100 places for children from 6 months to 5 years of age and is located at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in the Parkville biomedical precinct, predominantly offering early education and care services to the employees of WEHI and Melbourne Health. 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 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)

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.
