AddressA rare opportunity for full time work at an exceeding community based not-for-profit Centre.
Salamander Early Education is located on beautiful Worimi Land in the suburb of Salamander Bay. Having recently undergone the Assessment and Rating process, the Centre achieved exceeding in all seven quality areas.
We are a not-for-profit community based Centre so we do things a little differently here. We pay above award and you will never hear the term “under the roof”. We value relationships and invest in a commitment to relationships by staffing above ratio in every room. We also provide every educator with programming time so that they are able to meaningfully contribute to the curriculum we provide.
We have an authentic connection with the outdoors and prioritise engaging with nature and the Community. There is rarely a day where you will not find a group of children either on a bush walk, at the library or over at the shopping centre. We take a holistic approach to providing learning opportunities for all children, no matter their age or stage of development.

- Be an advocate for our sector and the rights of the child
- Be brave in their approach to providing experiences for children
