Find your Better Way

Every C&K career helps children belong and grow. We want the same for you and joining C&K means impacting a child’s life journey for the time they spend with us and long after they leave.  But, so much of what we do depends on you.

We’ll set you up for success with a range of benefits, programs and opportunities to help you earn, be well and grow.

  • Get a better deal with a wage rate of $30-$34 per hour plus salary sacrificing options.
  • Live, work and be well with our Employee Assistance Program for you and your family.

  • We fully fund your Blue Card, Police Check, First Aid, CPR, and Asthma and Anaphylaxis certification.
  • Save money with childcare discounts for eligible employees with children enrolled at a C&K Branch Centre.
  • Be rewarded for supporting the growth of our teams with a $1000 referral bonus for referring a successful candidate to a C&K vacancy.
  • Access a nationally recognised qualification in the high-demand field of early childhood education and care with subsidised training for eligible students through the C&K College.
  •  Help shape the future of children in our care

As one of our highly valued Lead Educators - Outside Hours Care, you’ll support and guide children’s learning and development, so they become curious, capable and confident lifelong learners.

Welcome to C&K Calamvale Kindy, where your child will feel safe, make friends and belong. We love and embrace the multiculturalism within our kindy community. We acknowledge the diversity of cultures in our service and look forward to celebrating and inviting families to share their culture with us. Through celebration, recognition and modelling, children are supported to treat each other with equality, inclusion and respect. Our highly experienced and passionate educators are the foundation of our kindergarten. Their commitment to the Calamvale community is evident in that five of our team members have been employed at C&K Calamvale for over 10 years. The longevity of our educators enables and fosters close, working relationships amongst educators and with families. We have many returning families with younger siblings that request familiar educators as a trusting relationship has already been established.

Using your skills, ideas and passion for education, you’ll help shape the future of children in our care by collaborating with your team to create a safe, supportive and engaging play-based learning environment for children, their families and our wider community.

Get ready to light up young minds As a Lead Educator, your weekdays from 1:15 pm to 6:15 pm will be a whirlwind of inspiration, discovery, and fun. From decoding equations to unleashing creativity, every moment will be an adventure in learning

What you’ll bring

Whether you’re an experienced early childhood professional, newly graduated or just commencing your studies, if you’re energetic, fun and committed to guiding children’s early learning and development, we’ll set you up for success

To thrive and succeed in this role, you will have or be willing to work towards:

  • A minimum of a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care or willingness to commence studying that qualification.
  • First Aid, CPR and Asthma and Anaphylaxis certification.
  • Valid Blue Card or Exemption Card.
  • A Police Check current within three months (or willingness to obtain one).

You will bring a passion for achieving long-lasting, high-quality outcomes for children, their families and the community alongside a team-player mindset - when you join C&K, you join a village of good-hearted, talented people, so you can lean on them as they lean on you.

Join us and find a better way with C&K - for children, for you, for always.

C&K is a child-safe organisation and all C&K employees are required to undergo a police check and not be a ‘Restricted Person’ or Suspended Educator under the QLD Blue Card System.

We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people from all backgrounds.
