AddressAre you interested in being a game changer in our early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector?
Are you passionate about ALL children and families getting to access, participate and contribute to high quality early learning and care environments in their very formative developmental years?
Do you have a particular interest and skill working with services and communities to provide quality inclusive practices and environments for all children and families?
If so, then come and work with Early Childhood Australia, NT (ECANT).
ECANT operates the federal government-funded Inclusion Support Program (ISP) across the whole of the Northern Territory supporting ECEC services in urban, rural and remote communities to increase capacity and capability to include ALL children.
We currently have a full-time Inclusion Professional position open in Darwin, involving overnight stays in very remote Aboriginal communities. Successful candidates will work closely with services, families, communities, and other stakeholders. These positions are on fixed-term contracts until June 30, 2025, and there is potential for extension subject to funding availability. We invite interested candidates to apply now.
You’d need to love a road trip in the desert, be happy to board a boat to the Tiwi’s and catch a light aircraft into the Gulf. You’d need to be able to really listen and use your best ECEC skills, experience, and aspirations to contribute to inclusive, equitable, quality programs and services for some of Australia’s most geographically isolated children and families.
The must-haves:
- Tertiary or Diploma qualification in education or early childhood with recent experience within the education and care sector
- Full covid-19 vaccination status
- Current driver’s license
- Ability to travel to remote services, including time away from home.
Desirable:
- Applicants with previous Inclusion Professional experience will be highly regarded.
- Experience in community/stakeholder engagement and family support highly regarded.
