Job description

Serve with purpose. Grow through community.

As a Child Care Aide, you help create a safe, caring and engaging environment where children can learn, develop and thrive. You work closely with children throughout the day, supporting their wellbeing, encouraging learning through play, and building positive relationships with families and colleagues. Your work helps children feel safe, supported and included during some of their most important early years.

You observe and record children's development, keep health and safety records up to date, communicate with parents about their child's progress, and respond to the changing needs of children throughout the day. You also follow childcare regulations, policies and procedures to ensure a high standard of care.

Every interaction matters. The care, guidance and support you provide help children build confidence, develop social connections and enjoy learning. Your work also gives families confidence that their children are safe, supported and well cared for.

At Kids' Early Learning, you benefit from stable employment, a rostered day off every fortnight, ongoing learning opportunities and a supportive team environment. If you enjoy working with children, value teamwork and are committed to supporting children's learning and wellbeing, we would love to hear from you.

At Blacktown City Council, good people make great teams, and great teams build great cities. Here, you will find the stability and support to keep growing, along with:

• a secure, permanent, full-time role with one of Australia's largest councils
• an entry level salary commencing at $1,371.62 per week
• a Rostered Day Off (RDO) every fortnight
