Educational Leader/ Admin Assistant 37.5 hours per week
1 week ago
Little Environeers is on the hunt for an incredible Educational Leader/ Admin Assistant to join freshly renovated service in MacLeod. Our current Educational Leader will continue in their role until the end of the year, before they head off on a working holiday overseas. This will mean that you will use the handover time as an opportunity to get to know all the ins and outs of our service, supporting the team on the floor and assisting with administrative3 duties as required. We are not your ordinary early learning service, so are seeking educators who are seeking a change and incredibly passionate about what they do.
We foster and encourage an outdoor learning program which operates in all weather and have a strong belief in encouraging children to explore and learn in the outdoors in appropriate attire. We encourage risky play and love when the children are busy making mess. You will be enthusiastic about our philosophy and lead and implement this throughout the whole team.
Our children know what they are looking for and hope that that you meet the criteria below:
"I want them to be funny"- Mstr Z
"I want them to be happy and kind"- Mstr J
"I want them to love me"- Mstr A
"I want them to cook"- Miss A
"I want them to play" - Miss G
"I want them to do cartwheels"- Mstr Z
"I want them to do a backflip"- Mstr J (We understand this will be very rare :)
"I want them to help me when someone is hurting me"- Mstr A
"I want them to make necklaces with me"- Miss G
"I just want them to love me"' Miss V
While our children don't ask for much, we are looking for educators who;
-Aren't afraid to get muddy and messy
-Understand the benefits of all weather outdoor play
-Willing to ditch the pre set experiences and promote and encourage curiosity by using less toys and more real word materials in the learning environment
-Be able to put the children's needs above everything else
- Be able to work along side a team of extremely passionate educators and share your ideas and visions for a truly holistic approach to children's learning
- Believe in the beauty of spontaneous leaning experiences and be willing to ditch the pre-set weekly curriculum idea
- Are innovative and passionate about making a difference in all children's lives
- Are able to work with interruptions from the team, families and children and identify areas for support
-Be prepared to mentor and support your team as needed, even if this requires multiple days on the floor to guide practices
Little Environeers is a family owned and operated Early Learning Service. We pride our selves on being different and don't align ourselves with one particular theorist or philosophy. We draw from theorists such as Vygotsky, Maria Montessori, Louis Malaguzzi, Rudolph Steiner and promote independence, collaborative learning and see that children's interests are at the forefront of everything we do.
