Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Search Light Inc. Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

If you love early childhood education but are looking for something a little different, this might be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Search Light Early Learning Centre is a small, community-based, not-for-profit service located in Sunnybank. We specialise in delivering high-quality early education and wraparound support to young families who benefit from a more flexible, affordable, and compassionate approach.

Licensed for just 19 places, our centre offers a rare chance to build deep connections with children, families, and colleagues. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, inclusive space where children feel secure and supported—and where educators are genuinely valued, nurtured, and empowered.

Co-located at an independent all-girls school in Brisbane, we support both students who are young parents and other families in the community who need a little extra care. We're managed by a volunteer committee and funded by the Australian Government.

About the role:

  • Casual position, 4 days per week during school terms
  • Perfect for educators who prefer school holidays off
  • Work closely with a small, passionate team
  • Help deliver targeted programs that make a real difference
  • Remuneration and entitlements as per the Children's Services Award, dependent on qualifications and experience (up to level 3.3)

About you:

  • You're a qualified Early Childhood Educator (Cert III or Diploma)
  • You bring warmth, initiative, and compassion to your practice
  • You thrive in small teams and value deep relationships with families
  • You're flexible, reliable, and committed to inclusive, high-quality care
  • Experience supporting young parents or vulnerable families is a bonus
  • Current Working with Children's Check
  • Current First Aid Certificate, Asthma & Anaphylaxis certificates

If you're ready to join a service that puts people first—and where your work truly matters—we'd love to hear from you. Successful applicants will be required to work within our Child Safe Code of Conduct and undergo the relevant pre-employment checks.

Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders are strongly encouraged to apply.
