Join Our Team at Siena OSHC, Sippy Downs!

\n

We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced casual Educator to join our friendly team at Siena Outside School Hours Care in Sippy Downs. We're seeking someone who holds a qualification in Children's Services — or is actively working towards one — and ideally brings some hands‐on experience in a childcare or OSHC setting.

\n

Located next to the University of the Sunshine Coast on the grounds of Siena Catholic College, we provide before and after school care, plus vacation care for up to 60 children. At Siena OSHC, we value every child as capable and unique. Our educators support this by creating meaningful, play‐based experiences built around each child's individual interests and needs — and we love welcoming input from children and families to help us continually grow and improve.

\n

We've got a fantastic group of kids and a great team of educators — and we'd love for you to be one of them.
