Lead Educator | Nursery - Inner North Brisbane

Petit ELJ Wooloowin is a beautiful centre nestled in a very leafy and quiet suburb on the North side of Brisbane easily accessed from the CBD via Wooloowin train station a few stops away, by car or bus and our team are excited to meet our newest Lead Educator to the Petit family.

Due to an interstate move we are currently in search of a Nursery Lead Educator who can take on a pivotal role in leading the development and delivery of high-quality learning programs and outcomes. The position offers a wonderful opportunity to collaborate closely with another Lead Educator who oversees our second nursery studio. You will like-minded in understanding the significance of fostering a strong sense of Belonging, Being, and Becoming as well as the importance of developing strong positive relationships with both parents and families to enhance connection and create a safe and secure environment.

We are seeking a Lead who can create consistent routines whilst also focusing on individual experiences within a safe environment allowing our youngest children the freedom to explore. It is important that you bring a highly positive, passionate, nurturing, attentive, calm and respectful manner who places great emphasis on creating learning environments filled with meaningful experiences. We don’t just say our children are our number one priority – they actually ARE!

From our last Employee Engagement Survey (Oct 23) some of our Wooloowin employees said “I can honestly say I love working for Petit and would not want to be anywhere else at this point in my life. They are a company who makes you feel supported and valued.” “Our Centre Manager is supportive with the educators and plays a big part in the relationships between staff in the centre.” “Her ability to connect in a way that genuinely makes me feel great; and is always looking out for how I am doing.”

Our inclusive and supportive culture is at the heartbeat of our organisation where every team member feels valued, heard, and appreciated. We have recently implemented a new remuneration and benefits package that goes beyond industry standards and rewards and reflects the exceptional value our employees bring to each service. We believe in championing and rewarding our teams hard work because we value their dedication and their achievements.
