Prebbleton Nursery | ECE certificated teacher

Are you passionate about working with infants and young children?
A confident leader and mentor?
Inspired by the RIE/Pikler approach to respectful, relationship-based care?

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for a certificated ECE teacher to join our Infant Room (3–20 months) as team leader, working approximately 34-36 hours per week. You'll be joining a warm, supportive team that values respectful practice, connection, and fun.

Prebbleton Nursery is a family-owned centre that’s been part of the local community for 25 years. Our motto, “The next best place to home,” is reflected in our natural, home-like environments—and even our pet guinea pigs, who are beloved parts of the curriculum.

We have low ratios (1:3/4 in infants, 1:5 in toddlers), giving you time to form strong relationships and lead quality practice.

What we offer:

• Paid day off for your birthday (after 12 months)
• Uniform provided
• Support from Mel (Centre Manager) and Cinny (Toddler Room Team Leader)
• Generous admin time
• Flexible leave
• A fun and caring team culture!

Our ideal team leader:

• Communicates confidently and works well in a team
• Has a sense of humour and enjoys a positive work environment
• Can lead planning, assessment, and internal evaluation
• Understands or is open to learning the RIE/Pikler approach
• Is reliable, flexible, and committed to quality care
