Are you a childcare educator who loves working with children but is ready for a change from the busy, high-pressure childcare sector? At Freshwater State School P&C, we offer the chance to use your skills and passion in a new way - as an Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Educator.

This casual role, based in Freshwater QLD 4870, gives you the opportunity to nurture, guide, and inspire children, but in a more flexible and community-focused environment.

Why this role is different

As a casual OSHC Educator at Freshwater State School P&C, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children while enjoying a flexible work schedule that fits around your lifestyle.

Our role in the lives of children is so much more than simply providing supervision.

This is a place where educators, children, and families all feel valued, nurtured, and connected.

Don't just take our word for it - our families, educators, and children say it best:

"Freshwater OSHC feels like a home away from home… I honestly can't thank them enough." –Parent

"The team culture here exceeds anything I've experienced in this industry." –Educator

"I love coming here because I feel safe and cared for." – Child

"I have worked in many different OSHCs over the years and never have I felt so valued, supported and cared for. The entire team works respectfully with unity and genuine care for each other and the beautiful children that we care for. Every educator that I have spoken with says that Freshwater OSHC is the best job that they have ever had. There is an abundance of laughter, empathy and flexibility at this amazing service." – Educator
