As the Room Leader, you will support a team of educators that are passionate about nurturing the confidence, strengths, and interests of the children in our high-quality, Reggio Emilia inspired early learning program.

You will implement programs that reflect cultural backgrounds and the emerging skills and interests of children and create a play-based learning environment responsive to children’s strengths and abilities. You will implement daily routines, maintain records of development, and continuously reflect and improve children’s learning.

What’s on offer

In addition to base hourly rate and superannuation, you’ll also receive 17.5% leave loading and the ability to increase your take-home pay by accessing up to $15,900 in salary packaging benefits that can be used on rent, mortgage repayments, or living expenses such as groceries, bills, clothing, streaming services, and much more.

An additional $500 6 month sign on bonus, once you have completed your probation.

There is also the option to increase your annual leave entitlements through our purchase leave program. You can access a 60% discount on the childcare subsidy gap fee when using a Uniting Early Learning service or centre and access to 10 weeks of paid parental leave.

About you

You will also bring with you:

  • An ability to lead the provision of a developmentally appropriate program for the children, in partnership with other educators, families and children.
