Working at Big Fat Smile, there's a lot to smile about. The trust you'll be given in exchange for your expertise. The freedom you'll be given as an Educator to use your judgement, adapt learning approaches, and bring creativity and playfulness to a child's day. The joy you'll get from doing work you love with team members who are as invested as you. And the beautiful relationships you'll form with peers, children, and families - through shared experiences that are as rich as they are rewarding.
More than a job, this is an opportunity to make a child's world a better, brighter place. Get greater enjoyment from your work and make more of a difference in the lives of every child in our child-first organisation.
Big smiles and bigger opportunities
We're Big Fat Smile. A not-for-profit that plays a pivotal role in the lives of thousands of children and families across Australia. We're early education enthusiasts, with 40+ Community Preschools, long day care centres and fun clubs, and a variety of community and inclusion programs. Each one dedicated to giving every child the best start in life. And each well-respected for the work it does.
Due to our size, there are big opportunities for those who want to go further. You'll find meaningful career paths with lots of promotions across our centres. And because professional learning and growth is at the heart of everything we do, you'll have the support and knowledge to succeed.
Right now, we're looking for a Diploma Educator for our Dapto Community Preschool - an 'Exceeding NQS' rated service in Dapto. We provide a lovely indoor and outdoor space that enables children to have access to learning resources that are as diverse as the world around them. We implement a well-balanced program that is child-centred, combines opportunities for intentional teachings and learning through play experiences, whilst encouraging children to discover, create, explore and imagine.
We are located within the Dapto Ribbonwood centre and have access to the library and community events held within the premises. We have strong links within the community with the local health nurses, local schools, Careways and local shops. Our location allows us to make regular visits within the community. We often take a trip to the local post office, supermarket and mall events.
We work in partnership with the local school community transition to school program and support children/families in preparing for school the year before they are required to attend. In nurturing children's social, emotional, physical, language, cognitive and independence skills, we are actively preparing them for school in our everyday practices.
A supportive and safe workplace
When the going gets tough (as it sometimes does in this sector), you will find teammates and leaders have your back. There's a real in-it-together feeling here thanks to a safe and supportive environment, and well-established policies and processes that outline exactly what's expected and needed in any situation. Everyone's in it together, making it easier for you to thrive.
We treasure the expertise of our educators.
As a Diploma Educator, you will play a critical role in shaping young minds. You will create happy, healthy relationships between a child and the most important people in their lives. You'll bring fun, laughter and play to each day, but most importantly, you'll create magical moments for children to experiment and grow.
What your work will involve
  • Providing quality education and care to all children
  • Contributing to planning educational programs that supports a child's learning to meet their goals
  • Building strong relationships with children, families, and the community
What you need to succeed
  • Commitment to making sure the children in our care are safe and healthy
  • Dedication to improving the lives and minds of children, families, and the community
  • A fun-loving attitude and big smile!
There are lots of reasons why a role with us is rewarding

  • You can focus on what matters most because you have support from head office specialists and expertise, such as inclusion professionals and pedagogy and practice
