Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) | Permanent Relief Team Region 3

Imagine being part of a dynamic team of passionate educators who travel across regions, support multiple centres, and make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and their families every single day. Welcome to the Permanent Relief Team, a tight-knit group of around 60 experienced professionals, united by a shared mission : to deliver exceptional early education wherever it's needed most.

Led by a seasoned early childhood expert and supported by dedicated coordinators, this team offers not just a job, but a rich career experience. Whether you're stepping into a centre to ensure continuity during staff absences or bringing fresh energy and ideas to new environments, you'll play a vital role in shaping young minds while expanding your own professional toolkit.

This isn’t your average role. Think of it as your backstage pass to a wide variety of early childhood services, each with its own culture, strengths, and community. You’ll build connections, collaborate with educational leaders, and receive tailored mentoring designed to elevate your career to the next level.

The Role

We’re looking for a passionate and driven Early Childhood Teacher (Bachelor Qualified) who’s ready to bring their energy, expertise, and heart to a role that truly makes a difference. If you're an experienced educator who thrives in play-based learning environments and values meaningful connections with children, families, and colleagues, this is your moment to shine.

In this full-time role, you'll work Monday to Friday, 8 hours per day, with the flexibility to cover a variety of shifts including opens and closes while also stepping into the role of nominated supervisor when needed. It’s a position that calls for leadership, adaptability, and a genuine love for early education.

But the rewards go well beyond the classroom. As a key member of our team, you’ll enjoy a suite of professional and lifestyle benefits, including :

• A monthly Rostered Day Off (RDO) to recharge and refresh
• A travel allowance to support your work across multiple centres
