Description

Join the Team — 360 Early Education

Certificate III | Early Childhood Educator (Epping Road, Macquarie Park Centres)

Whether you're just starting out, a few years in, or a qualified teacher ready for a service that matches your ambition — if early childhood education is your calling, we'd like to talk.

Our commitment to child safety

The safety, rights and wellbeing of every child in our care is our paramount priority — above all else.

360 Early Education is a Child Safe Organisation. We implement the Child Safe Standards under the NSW Child Safe Scheme and expect every member of our team to actively uphold them. We have zero tolerance for child abuse. All team members are required to read, sign and uphold our Child Safe Code of Conduct as a condition of employment.

If this is how you already think about working with children, you could be a great fit for our team.

Who we are

We're a family-owned early education provider with an unbroken 13-year record of exceeding the National Quality Standards, placing us in the top 5% of private Long Day Care providers nationally. Our services operate across NSW and the ACT, and we're expanding.

What makes 360 different isn't a slogan. It's what actually happens in our rooms:

• The THRIVE Program develops executive function, self-regulation and social skills from birth — grounded in research, built on relationships
• Beyond the Classroom takes children into the world — bush school, swim school, the Australian Museum, project-driven excursions designed and led by our teachers
• Our Creative Arts program brings in working artists and uses dance, drama and creative expression as genuine tools for learning
• STEM treats children as scientists from birth, fostering wonder, creativity and innovation every day
• Our Literacy program puts language everywhere — because we believe a love of reading starts before a child can hold a book

We have active partnerships with universities and major cultural institutions, and our educators shape those partnerships — they're not delivered to you, they're built with you.

"360 is an amazing place to work. The service genuinely cares about the wellbeing of children, their families and their employees. One thing is for certain — you will always learn." — Remi Sallonsonet, Room Leader

Roles we’re recruiting for

Assistant Educator — Enrolled in or holding a Certificate III. You're building your skills in a room alongside experienced educators, contributing observations, supporting children through routines, and learning from a team that genuinely invests in the people around them.

What life looks like at 360

Pay and conditions Salaries are paid above award across all roles, in line with the Federal Government's Worker Retention Payment. Your qualification level and responsibilities are reflected in your classification from day one, with progression as you grow.

What makes the work sustainable

• Additional educators in every room — you're supported, not the only one carrying it
• Generous non-contact time built into your week, not squeezed from the edges of your day
• Monthly RDOs and leave over Christmas and New Year
• Subsidised childcare for your own children within 360 services

Your career, actively supported

• A structured induction and a buddy from your first day
• Formal check-ins at 2–4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months — so you always know where you stand and what support is available
• Access to the 360 Learning Platform (Ed App) and a full professional development calendar
• A genuine internal pathway — from Assistant Educator through to Room Leader, Educational Leader, Nominated Supervisor, and beyond. Half our leadership team has grown from within

"My growth at 360 has taken me from a graduate Early Childhood Teacher to a room leader to — five years later — a part-time university lecturer." — Sheryl Ho, former 360 educator

What we're looking for

Across every role, the qualities that matter most to us are the same:

• A genuine commitment to child safety — not as a box to tick, but as a professional and personal standard that shapes every interaction with children
• Curiosity about children — how they think, what they notice, and what they're working out about the world
• Warmth and reliability — children need consistent, familiar faces. So do good teams
• A reflective mind — you don't need all the answers, just the willingness to keep seeking them
• Collaboration — because the best things we do at 360, we do together

Pre-employment screening

Because children's safety is our paramount priority, all successful applicants will be required to complete the following before commencing:

• Working With Children Check (NSW) or Working With Vulnerable People registration (ACT), verified before your first day. You must notify 360 immediately in writing if your check status changes at any time
• National Police Check — as a broader screening measure complementing the WWCC, required for all child-related roles
• Prohibited persons register check via the NQA ITS
• Qualification verification — all qualifications independently checked, including ACECQA approval status and RTO validity
• Two structured verbal reference checks conducted directly with your previous supervisors or colleague.
• Signed Declaration of Disciplinary and Investigative History and acknowledgement of your Child Safe Code of Conduct obligations
• Mandatory national child safety training, to be completed during induction. All ECEC workers are required to complete the foundation modules by 27 August 2026

Please also note that personal devices are not permitted while working directly with children at any 360 service.

Section 174AA obligation: Under the Education and Care Services National Law (NSW), all educators and staff are legally required to notify their approved provider in writing within 72 hours of receiving a negative notice, or within 24 hours of becoming aware of any change to their Working With Children Check status, NESA accreditation, or teacher registration — whichever is earlier. This applies to any change, including conditions imposed, suspension, or lapse.

We review applications as they arrive and move quickly for the right person.

360 Early Education is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all educators. We particularly welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
