Join Our Team at St Paul's Early Learning Centre

St Paul's Early Learning Centre is excited to invite passionate and dedicated Certificate III or Diploma Qualified Educators (or those working towards qualification) to join our warm and welcoming team on a permanent full-time basis.

About St Paul's Early Learning Centre

Are you an Educator who loves inspiring young minds and making a real difference?

At St Paul's Early Learning Centre, we're building a team of professionals who believe in the power of early education in a nurturing, faith-based environment — and we'd love for you to be part of it.

We provide high-quality Long Day Care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, alongside a vibrant Queensland Kindergarten program, within a beautiful natural setting.

Our centre operates Monday to Friday, 6:30 am – 6:00 pm, offering families and educators a supportive and flexible environment.

Your Responsibilities

As our next Educator, you will:

  • Engage and supervise children in a range of enriching indoor and outdoor activities that spark curiosity and joy.
  • Create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where children feel valued and confident to explore.
  • Deliver learning programs aligned with the National Quality Framework, tailored to each child's age, interests, and developmental needs.
  • Build warm, respectful relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
  • Collaborate with your team to create meaningful learning experiences and uphold high standards of care.
  • Help maintain a clean, organised, and welcoming learning space.
What We're Looking For

To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

  • A Certificate III or Diploma in Children's Services (or currently studying).
  • Experience in an early learning setting (preferred).
  • Sound understanding of the National Quality Standards and National Framework.
  • A current Blue Card, and certifications in First Aid, CPR, Asthma, and Anaphylaxis.
  • Completed Child Protection Training (as per Section 162A of the Education and Care Services National Law).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • A warm, respectful approach to building positive relationships with children, families, and your team.
  • A genuine passion for supporting children's learning, growth, and wellbeing.
  • A willingness to support and uphold the Christian ethos of our service.
  • Food handling experience (desirable, but not essential).
What We Offer

At St Paul's, we're proud to care for the people who care for children. You'll enjoy:

  • 75% staff discount on childcare fees for your own children.
  • Paid renewals for Blue Cards and funded First Aid, CPR, and Anaphylaxis training.
  • Paid time to complete training courses by In Safe Hands.
  • Access to LEQ scholarship programs and ongoing professional development.
  • Two weeks off over the Christmas break.
  • Flexible working arrangements and exciting incentives for the right candidate.
  • Employee Assistance Program for health and wellbeing support.
  • Dedicated events and workshops for upskilling throughout the year.
  • Access to a Pedagogical Manager and a supportive leadership team.
  • A unique natural play space spanning nearly an acre — home to native wildlife including possums, frogs, lizards, and bees
