Help shape the future of children in our care

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

At C&K Amberley Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning five days a week from 6:30 am to 6 pm.

At C&K Amberley Community Childcare Centre we are passionate about building strong relationship with children. We follow the C&K’s Listening and Learning Together curriculum which supports the belief to allow and encourage children to express their own ideas through play. Our long-term educators are dedicated to providing a high-quality caring environment, whilst supporting your child in their learning and development. 

Our spacious playgrounds, which offer established gardens, lovely shade trees, herb gardens, a large sand pit in each play space and a vast array of play opportunities, allows for learning in a variety of ways, across all areas of development and embraces each child’s natural curiosity to play and discover. Each day children are provided with tasty nutritional meals, this includes Morning Tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea. Mealtimes are a wonderful social experience where educators and children are able to sit together to share their meal and learn a little more about each other. 

We are looking for an Educator who is available to work Monday to Friday on a rotating monthly roster. 40 hours per week with a Roastered Day off (RDO) a month.

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 either have or be willing to work towards:

• A minimum of a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care or working towards this 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.
