Help shape the future of children in our care
As one of our highly valued Early Childhood Teachers with our Weir team, you’ll support and guide children’s learning and development, so they become curious, capable and confident lifelong learners.
At Weir, we have large landscaped gardens and inspiring indoor learning environments. The spacious and natural environment at our Kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and we allocate plenty of time for outdoor play and discovery. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us and taking the children on excursions out into the local community.
With energy, creativity and a passion for education, you’ll take a hands-on approach to teaching children 6 weeks to 5 years in a play-based learning environment. And as an approachable leader for families, children and your team, you’ll nurture a culture where everyone can belong, grow and thrive.
