Are you ready to do something that truly matters?

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.

But times are changing, and so are we. And although we’re passionate believers that children come first, we know our people must come first, too.

“I love being part of an organisation whose vision is to see a state ‘where every child flourishes’. I value the opportunity to contribute, even in a small way, to the impactful work that is being done in the early childhood education sector.” - Alex Bron, Management Accountant
