We are looking for a Permanent Part Time educator to support children at our OSHC services at Gillieston Heights.

Monday to Friday

Before School Care 6 am-9 am and

After School Care 2 pm-6 pm

Total of 35 Hours per Week

Our Out-of-School-Hours Educators are the sharp minds and friendly faces inspiring and influencing the next generation of young people. Acting as both teacher and role-model to young students from over 50 NSW Schools, they provide engaging, exciting and interactive activities through our Before School, After School and Vacation Care services.

You'll work closely with the children (and their parents), sharing your wisdom, support and passions with them to help them grow.

This isn't your typical 9-5 role - and if you bring the dedication, focus and commitment, you'll enjoy the flexibility of a career in education, where you can build a schedule that works for you. So if you're excited by the opportunity of a promising career creating meaningful opportunities for young people who need them, you'll almost certainly learn a thing or two yourself.

- You will help design a calendar of inclusive, exciting, and engaging program activities
- Reporting to the Coordinators of our OSHC centres, you will be one of over 200 educators who support children across NSW. You will be able to follow our development pathways to learn new skills and build your career

**About you**
- Y NSW staff love supporting their communities, and our educators innovate learning everyday
- Y NSW OSHC Educators are motivated to develop children outside of the classroom
- Everyone at the Y NSW ensures that we provide supportive service for families
- Everyone at the Y NSW is committed to safeguarding and hosting safe learning environments

**To be successful in this role, you will have**:

- Experience supervising and interacting with children
- Ability to follow safeguarding priorities
- Availability to supervise Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care hours
- Current First Aid HLTAID012 - Provide an emergency response in an education and care setting and CPR

**Childcare Services**

Our Children Services Team are the passionate leaders giving developing young minds the opportunity to learn, grow and have fun outside of school. Across 47 schools in NSW, our team of OSHC Educators and Coordinators provide before and after school (and school holiday) care that's dedicated to the safety and development of young children. Every day, the team facilitate and run a range of valuable programs and activities that include sport, creative arts, cooking - and many more. These roles work closely with children, parents and teachers alike, to provide meaningful opportunities for young people within a healthy, safe and inclusive environment. If you're a driven, dedicated leader who brings energy and enthusiasm to everything you do, you'll find the support and flexibility to explore a promising career in childcare or education.
