Diploma Educator

Part-Time Diploma Educator | Mayfield Early Education – Clifton Beach

Where the rainforest meets the reef, and every day brings a new adventure in learning.

Are you a Diploma-qualified Educator who loves creating meaningful moments with children? Do you thrive in a close-knit, supportive team where laughter is part of the daily routine? At Mayfield Early Education Clifton Beach, we're looking for a passionate and caring Educator to join our beachside family on a part-time basis.

Here, you'll be more than an Educator — you'll be a role model, a storyteller, a co-explorer, and a trusted part of our community.

What You'll Be Doing

From finger-painting masterpieces and garden adventures to spontaneous singalongs and science experiments, you'll help our curious little learners explore their world through creativity and play. You'll guide them through their milestones with patience, kindness, and joy — celebrating every step along the way.

Every day is different — and that's what makes it so rewarding
