For Children. For You. For Always.

Are you ready to make a difference that lasts a lifetime?

At C&K, our purpose is to make a positive impact on children’s lives. It’s what we’ve been doing for more than 115 years. Through evidence-based thinking, hard work and true compassion, we’ve built a trusted reputation as Queensland’s leading provider of early childhood education.

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

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 $31-$35 per hour plus salary sacrificing options.
  • Live, work and be well with our Employee Assistance Program for you and your family.
  • Find a healthy work-life balance with parental leave, return-to-work support, and family-friendly priority access to C&K childcare centres.
  • 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

Haylea and her team at QUT Kelvin Grove, pride themselves on creating a warm and inclusive environment for up to 66 children across five diverse learning spaces. By joining our dedicated team, you will be part of a community that values open communication and recognizes each child as a competent and capable learner.

As a Lead Educator here, you'll be at the heart of shaping young minds. Your creativity, passion for education, and dedication will help our children grow into curious, capable, and confident learners. Together with your team, you'll create a safe, supportive, and exciting play-based environment that enriches the lives of children, families, and our wider community.

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.
