As a Lead Educator at Uniting Early Learning, you'll be an active contributor to a team committed to delivering high-quality early childhood education and care. This means building meaningful relationships with children, families, and the broader community, while working collaboratively with colleagues to drive continuous improvement across the service.
Your educational program will be grounded in the nationally approved Belonging, Being and Becoming: Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children from birth to five years. Through this framework, you'll address each child's developmental needs, interests, and experiences — recognising and respecting what makes every child unique.
You’ll be joining Uniting’s Early Learning directorate – a purpose-led team working across Victoria and Tasmania to shape better futures for children and families. We champion safety, inclusion, and quality in everything we do, and we’re driven by a deep belief in the power of early learning to transform lives and strengthen communities.
At Uniting, you’ll enjoy:
- Working in a values-led organisation with real community impact.
- Being part of team creating safe, nurturing and playful environments for children.
- A 60% discount for eligible employees on out-of-pocket childcare fees at Uniting learning services.
- A 30% discount on Office 365 subscriptions, and a 25% discount at our Uniting Op Shops.
- Up to $15,900 in salary packaging benefits that can be used for living expenses such as groceries, bills, clothing and streaming services.
- Saving on dining out and drinks with a meal entertainment benefit of $2,650 annually.
- Access to additional annual leave entitlements through our purchase leave program.
- Up to 10 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers (4 for secondary).
You'll be right at home at Uniting if you're passionate about providing high-quality early learning experiences and share our belief that children's safety, wellbeing and development should always come first.
The successful candidate is required to hold current First Aid, CPR, Anaphylaxis, and Asthma certifications, as well as a valid Employee Working with Children Check or Working with Vulnerable Persons Check applicable to the state in which the service operates.
Key experience and capabilities include:
- Leading the delivery of developmentally appropriate programs in partnership with educators, families, and children.
- Planning, reflecting, managing workloads, and prioritising time effectively with minimal supervision.
- Demonstrating comprehensive knowledge of the National Law and Regulations.
- Previous experience in a leadership role within an early childhood setting.
- Understanding and applying early childhood development theories to support children's learning and development.
