Here’s a little about us:
We’re Goodstart and we’re all about laying the foundation for better lives through amazing early learning experiences, and we know that we can’t do that without great people!

Here are a few things about us that you might not know:
We’re the biggest and most trusted provider of early education in Australia.

We’re not for profit, which means it’s about the children and about you.

Our Enterprise Agreement means better pay for you, wellbeing days, mental and physical health support and loads more benefits than you can poke a stick at!

We open from 7:00am – 6:00pm so we can make your hours work for you.

We’ve been here for over 10 years. We’re basically a household name.

We’re completely Aussie owned and operated!

We care for over 71,000 children and employ over 15,0000 staff, so we know a thing or two!

This is our Centre:
We are a nice small 70 place centre, nestled in a lovely neighbourhood – close to local schools, shops, and residential areas.

We have a dedicated Nursery, Toddler and Kindergarten room. With our Centre Cook, we also provide three healthy nutritious meals a day!

Our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces. They have been designed to encourage a strong understanding of the environment.

Our size means we can form strong close relationships with our families, which creates more opportunities to ensure our learning programs are tailored to your child’s individual interests, needs and strengths.

What’s in it for you?

The salary is awesome and above award too.

There are heaps of employee benefits like Health Insurance, Travel and Accommodation deals and loads of discounts on tech and retail too!

We offer wellbeing days, extra allowances, development days and more.

Plus, you get the benefit of flexible working arrangements, as we know work-life balance is super important.

Yes, you’ll get discounted childcare as well!

We’ll support your studies because the better you are, the better we are!

You can buy back more annual leave – no you didn’t read that wrong.

We seriously have the best team, ever. With so much support from our centre support functions, you won’t ever be left out on your own!

You get to use your creative genius at work and really love your job!

What about the role?

As a Senior Educator at the Goodstart Semaphore Park Centre,

We don’t just want you to be a team player, we want you to be family.

It’s about the children, so we’d love for you to collaborate with the Senior Educators and Educational Leader within your centre to observe, inform and continuously improve our educational programs on offer to children.

Safety is a must! You put safety first with everything that you do!

Finally, you’ll need to ensure all learning experiences are inclusive and tailored to the needs of all children.

Ok, so what do you need?

A strong knowledge of the EYLF and NQS is a very good start (notice the pun?!)

Share our passion for being child led, with your approach to education

Planning and implementing some seriously awesome, seriously high-quality educational programs

Working across a variety of shifts – we’ll always do our best to accommodate your preferences!

You’ll have to hold a Diploma in Early Childhood (or an ACECQA approved equivalent), because that’s super important.

I’m in! Where do I apply?

Just simply click ‘Apply Now’ and submit your application and we’ll find a time that suits you to touch base and we’ll be sure to treat it with confidentiality for your confidence!

We actually review applications as soon as they are submitted (no really, we do!). We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible for your best chance to progress to the next stage of the process.
