Help shape the future of children in our care

As one of our highly valued Early Childhood Teachers with our C&K Tully team, you’ll support and guide children’s learning and development, so they become curious, capable and confident lifelong learners.

Our teaching team tailors each day’s learning, taking into account the interests of the children in the group. The spacious and natural environment at our kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. 

With energy, creativity and a passion for education, you’ll take a hands-on approach to teaching children 3.5 to 4.5 years in a play-based learning environment. And as an approachable leader for families, children and your team, you’ll nurture a culture where everyone can belong, grow and thrive.

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

To thrive in this role, you will have:

  • A Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood or equivalent (recognised by ACECQA)
  • Knowledge of the National Quality Framework and Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guide.
  • First Aid, CPR and Asthma and Anaphylaxis certification.
  • Valid Blue Card and current Police Check (within three months or willing to obtain these).


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.
