Job description

About this role

🌈 OAC Torquay - Casual Early Childhood Educator

(Told through the eyes of a little adventurer!)

Hi there! We're the curious minds at Only About Children Torquay, and we're on the lookout for a new grown-up to join our world of giggles, glitter, and grand adventures! We only became friends last year when our amazing new centre opened in Dec 2024, and are looking to have a casual educator join in all our fun.

Here, we don't just go to childcare, we build rocket ships out of boxes, bake pretend cupcakes with extra sprinkles, and paint rainbows that sometimes sneak onto our elbows (oops!). Every day is different! One morning you might help us dig for buried treasure, and by afternoon, we'll be scientists mixing water and sand (spoiler : it's always mud).

Our centre is located right near the beach too! You can see the scenic views from our second level while we are exploring outside with water play and other engaging activities our grown ups have planned for us to keep us learning.

We're searching for someone who sees :

💫 Every question as curiosity.

🎨 Every mess as a masterpiece.

🌱 Every day as a new adventure waiting to bloom.

Our grown-ups say that being a Casual Educator means you're one of our special heroes. Someone who's there when we need an extra helping hand, a smile, or a story. You might visit different rooms and meet all of us (we have lots of friends to introduce you to!), helping us with our play, learning, and adventures.

You'll love it here if you :

• ✨ Have a Certificate III or Diploma in Early Childhood Education.
• 🦸♀️ Bring big energy, creativity, and kindness wherever you go.
• 🌈 Are flexible, reliable, and ready to jump in with both feet (sometimes into paint!).
• 📚 Understand the important stuff - child protection, safety, and being our trusted grown-up.

📅 Can visit us at least three days a week to join our fun.

At OAC Torquay, we believe laughter and learning go hand in hand. We celebrate you—your ideas, your sparkle, and your heart - just like we do with every child who walks through our doors. Because here, it's not just about care. It's about curiosity, connection, and creating magic in every small moment. ✨
