“This is what I enjoy about working with C&K; the staff truly embody the company’s purpose of nurturing and inspiring children to succeed in an ever-changing world.”

- Mackenzee Nicolson – Assistant Educator, Gumdale C&K

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.

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.

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.

  • Be rewarded for your commitment with a wage rate of $27.51-$33.95 per hour plus $1000 retention bonus paid twice yearly.
  • Enjoy stability and a better work life balance with a permanent part time opportunity supporting the Kindergarten with Extended Hours Program Monday to Friday from 1:35 pm - 6 pm. Flexible hours during school holidays.
  • 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, along with family-friendly priority access to C&K childcare centres and discounts of up to 75% of the gap fee.
  • 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.
  • Scholarships of up to $3000 for eligible Educators who are working towards their Certificate III or Diploma qualification under the Qualifications Pathways Program (QPP).

Help shape the future of children in our care

Welcome to C&K Oakleigh! Here, we truly believe that every child deserves a place where they feel safe, cherished, and inspired to learn. Sonya and her wonderful team of educators are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that allows children to explore, play, and grow at their own pace. We celebrate each child's unique personality and foster their natural curiosity through engaging activities and meaningful experiences.

The Extended Hours Program commences from the end of the kindergarten program and continues the children's learning into the afternoon until 6 pm. As one of our highly valued Educators in the extended kindergarten program, you’ll work alongside the Extended Kindergarten Coordinator from 1.35 pm to provide support and guide children’s learning and development, so they become curious, capable and confident lifelong learners.

Using your skills, ideas and passion for education, you’ll help shape the future of children in our care by collaborating with your team to create a safe, supportive and engaging play-based learning environment for children, their 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 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.

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.
