About the Role

If you have a strong image of the child, and see children as being creative, capable, competent, knowledgeable, and resourceful learners that you co-construct meaning with, we would like to meet you.

Our educators work together in relationships with children and adults to explore, research, and build on ideas and theories that emerge from the children and community.

In joining us you will:

Be embracing the ethos of our preschool, including the NNS philosophy of teaching and learning, and a commitment to child safe practices.

Work in relationship with our teaching team, families, and the community.

Be dedicated to high-quality standards in teaching and in creating aesthetic, stimulating environments of inquiry.

Be an enthusiastic and contributing member of our team who can work happily in relationships with others and continually grow through research and professional development.

Be confident, capable, and enthusiastic in documenting your work with children, seeing it as a provocation for collaboration, planning, and reflection, in celebrating the child and the work of the group.

Have a current Working with Children Check, a current First Aid certificate including Asthma and Anaphylaxis, and a visa that allows you to work full or part-time in Australia.
