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. At C&K, you’ll help shape the future of the children in our care - and there’s so much more we can do to set a new standard for our sector.

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 an hourly wage rate of $26.50-$28.45 plus salary sacrificing options.
• Save money with childcare discounts for eligible employees with children enrolled at a C&K Branch Centre.
• 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.
• 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.
• Live, work and be well with our Employee Assistance Program for you and your family.

Help shape the future of children in our care

As one of our highly valued Administration Assistant with our C&K Paddington team, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our centre operates smoothly and continues to support children to become confident lifelong learners.

Working 10 hours per week, you’ll be a friendly first point of contact for visitors to our centre. You’ll assist with administrative and financial tasks, such as managing enrolment records, and contribute to our inclusive, kind and collaborative team culture where everyone can belong, grow and thrive.

What you’ll bring

 To thrive and succeed in this role, you will be a great communicator with the ability to nurture friendly, respectful relationships with children, families and colleagues.

You will also hold:

• A working knowledge of the Microsoft Office suite.
• A current drivers licence.
• Valid Blue Card and current Police Check (within three months or willing to obtain these – C&K will cover the cost).

We would also love you to have experience in a similar administration role. Any experience in the early childhood sector or a qualification in business administration would be great, but not essential.

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