Job description

Strathfield Early Learning – Strathfield South NSW

Join a nurturing early childhood education environment as an Educator, supporting the learning, development and wellbeing of babies and young children.

About us

Strathfield Early Learning is a family-owned, owner-operated centre in Strathfield South. We’re hiring a Diploma-qualified Educator to join our Nursery team and help care for our youngest children in a warm, play-based program.

Child Safe Statement

Strathfield Early Learning is a child safe organisation. Children’s safety, wellbeing and protection are our highest priority in everything we do, including how we recruit.

All successful candidates will complete reference checks and must hold a current NSW Working with Children Check.

This is a full-time role. Casual or part-time applicants will not be considered.

Why you’ll love working with us

Because we’re family-owned, decisions are made here, not by a distant head office. Piano, robotics and the rest of the program are included in the daily fee, so you can offer them properly rather than selling extras:

• - Daily gym and music, plus gardening
• - Regular incursions
• - THRASS literacy from six months
• - Chef-prepared meals, nappies and on-site children’s haircuts, all included
