Join our Early Learning Team.

• Help local families access childcare and keep the community thriving.
• Small, close-knit service in a rural town with strong local connections.

Your new role

In Balmoral, childcare isn’t just a service, it’s a lifeline for local families.

Our small, long day care service supports farming and rural families to work, contribute and stay connected to their community.

We currently operate three days per week with eight places and have a waiting list of more than 40 local families.

If you’re a qualified educator who’s taken a break from childcare, this role could be a great way to return. With part-time hours, a small service and a close-knit team, you can ease back into the sector while making a real difference locally.

Located within the Balmoral Family Centre Community Hub, we’re proud to be deeply connected to the local community and to offer a calm, welcoming environment for children, families and educators alike.
