Job description

Your New Adventure: Timber Tots Camp Hill

Here at Timber Tots, Educators enjoy the experience nearly as much as the children. Thanks to our unique combination of natural settings, larger than regulated play spaces, stimulating play-based programs, and qualified and nurturing educators, each child’s thinking and learning are enhanced, extended, and challenged.

We are now seeking a vibrant Assistant Educator to enhance our Timber Tots team.

By joining the Timber Tots team, you're becoming part of a close-knit family environment - there are over 40 of us in our mini community! We are well-resourced and highly maintained and we value quality over quantity.

As an equally resourceful, optimistic, and flexible teammate, you are going to thrive with our bustling calendar. Enjoy sessions in the garden, at the park, at our Gumnuts program learning about loose parts and sustainability, or inside with our library program. We have a mixture of both indoor and outdoor activities which means every day is different.

We always have 3 staff members rostered on per room, rather than the typical 2

Be a part of programming and paperwork - help write observations and day stories

Benefit from frequent learning and development + special guests i.e. Julie Cross, Red Nose, or Sids and Kids who we invite to host development days

You'll receive a shirt, hat, and starter pack on day one

Timber Tots does NOT believe in operating using under-the-roof ratios!

What We Value

Getting active

Having fun

Being sustainable, and

Getting out in the sun

Children are encouraged to learn through play-based programs based on the Early Years Learning Framework taught by our team of experienced and qualified educators. Our quality Pre-Prep program is run by experienced childhood teachers and is designed to prepare and equip children for their school years and beyond.

What You'll Bring

Both positions require adaptability and proactivity. A passion for maintaining the health, safety, and education of our children in an equal, ethical, and exciting environment is paramount.

Assistant Educator

Certificate III in Early Childhood Education or Diploma.

We are proud to be a child safe organization putting safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do through our child safe commitment.
