About us

For 85 years, Gowrie Victoria has been at the forefront of early learning. We are a purpose-driven, not-for-profit organisation with a reputation for high-quality early childhood education and care. We champion excellence and implement a play-based, emergent curriculum across our nine early learning services in Victoria.

We are known as a place for demonstration, where generations of teachers and educators have learnt and developed their practice. We build the capability of thousands of leaders, teachers, and educators each year through accredited training, blended learning, coaching & mentoring programs, and networking events.

The opportunity

Gowrie has been selected at the provisional provider of two new early learning services in Geelong as part of the Victorian Government's Kindergarten on School Sites program. Co-located with Oberon Primary School and Grovedale Primary School, our two new services will provide free sessional kindergarten for 3–4-year-olds in 2026. This expansion allows us to provide high-quality early learning to more children and families in the Geelong community and to build strong and lasting relationships with children, families, schools, and the local early childhood community.

We're looking for educators to join our team in ensuring the success of our new services. You will be a qualified Educator (Cert III or Diploma) with more than 12 months of experience. You'll bring sound knowledge of the NQF and approved Early Learning Frameworks and experience in implementing programs that are inclusive and respond to children's interests. We are looking for good communicators who are able to work effectively in diverse teams and create a welcoming environment for children and families.

At Gowrie, our strength is our culture. It is built on a foundation of genuine curiosity. We encourage our people to ask questions, be reflective and bring their authentic selves to work. Does this sound like the place for you?
