Big smiles and bigger opportunities

We’re Big Fat Smile. A not-for-profit that plays a pivotal role in the lives of thousands of children and families across Australia. We’re early education enthusiasts, with 40+ community preschools, long day care centres and fun clubs, and a variety of community and inclusion programs. Each one dedicated to giving every child the best start in life. And each well-respected for the work it does.

Due to our size, there are big opportunities for those who want to go further. You’ll find meaningful career paths with lots of promotions across our centres. And because professional learning and growth is at the heart of everything we do, you’ll have the support and knowledge to succeed.

Right now, we’re looking for an Additional Educator for our Picton Community Preschool – an ‘Exceeding NQS’ rated term only preschool located in Picton. This role work part time Monday to Wednesday during term time, until the end of term 4 2024.

Picton Community Preschool is a happy meeting place for children and their families. Serving the local community since 1971 where play and creativity are paramount to learning and discovery. Children are encouraged to belong, be and become, maintained by nurturing, supportive and intentional educators.

While academics are important, our day is forged by a child-interest-centred curriculum. Our centre focuses on the child’s inter-personal skills…developing their independence… empowering them to make choices… to believe in their own thinking… learning how to live in a micro community of people.

We allow children to be in the ‘now’. The world of school and adult skills will happen because they have been allowed to be children and play within a safe, creative environment. Also our school readiness occurs every day for every child.

A supportive and safe workplace

When the going gets tough (as it sometimes does in this sector), you will find teammates and leaders have your back. There’s a real in-it-together feeling here thanks to a safe and supportive environment, and well-established policies and processes that outline exactly what’s expected and needed in any situation. Everyone’s in it together, making it easier for you to thrive.

We treasure the expertise of our educators

As a Certificate III Educator, you will play a critical role in shaping young minds. You will create happy, healthy relationships between a child and the most important people in their lives. You’ll bring fun, laughter and play to each day, but most importantly, you’ll create magical moments for children to experiment and grow.

What your work will involve

  • Providing quality education and care to all children
  • Contributing to planning educational programs that supports a child’s learning to meet their goals
  • Building strong relationships with children, families, and the community

What you need to succeed

  • Commitment to making sure the children in our care are safe and healthy
  • Dedication to improving the lives and minds of children, families, and the community
  • A fun-loving attitude and big smile

There are lots of reasons why a role with us is rewarding

  • You will feel supported by a Total Well-being Platform that gives you access to self-assessments, articles, toolkits, podcasts, perks and savings, and other resources.
  • You will have the financial peace of mind with 60% discount on early learning and care and out of school hours care services
  • You can save money with discounts Good Guys, Illawarra Dragons, Illawarra Credit Union and more
  • You can focus on what matters most because you have support from head office specialists and expertise, such as inclusion professionals and pedagogy and practice

How to apply

Please send us:

  • A copy of your resume
  • A brief cover letter that outlines why you are a good fit for the role

Join us and you’ll be smiling too, when you make more of a difference.
