Job description

Qualified Educator Role for In Home Care

Seeking a qualified educator (min Cert III) for our 2.5 year old girl and 8 month old boy. Initially 2-3 days a week based in Parkdale. We require care on a Monday (full day) but can be flexible as to exact hours and other days.

Our 2.5 year old has some medical issues (now well controlled) and developmental delay. She has the developmental age of around a 10-12 month old and is not yet walking or speaking but she is making good progress to reach these milestones. You will be a valued part of her learning and development journey. She is a happy, giggly, easy-going sweet girl who is a little bit shy initially but loves silly games, music and sensory play. The 8 month old is super smiley, social and loves chats.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is eligible to provide In Home Care (see IHCSA.au/educators and be employed part time by our service provider). We are unable to consider applicants who don't meet the minimum qualifications.
• Is physically able to do some manual handling (~15kgs lifting in and out of high chair, cot, etc)
• Is relaxed, playful, not afraid to be silly and has a strong grounding in play based learning
• Is confident in first aid/ CPR, has WWCC, police check and references
• Is willing to undergo additional training for a medical condition and in-case-of-emergency management (we will fund this)

Start date: ASAP - Oct/Nov and we are willing to be flexible for the right fit for our family. We would love someone who can ideally commit 1 year or longer.
