Ready to make a real difference in young lives? Join our dynamic team as a casual OSHC Educator and discover a role that's anything but ordinary!

What makes this opportunity special?

• Inspire and influence young hearts and minds
• Create valuable opportunities outside of the classroom
• Unique casual role with flexible hours and working arrangements

We're seeking a passionate casual educator to support children at our OSHC service in Macquarie Fields. You must be available for a minimum of 3 weekdays per week and willing to travel to other locations in the area. For the right candidate, there's even an opportunity to transition into a permanent role!

Our Out-of-School-Hours Educators are the sharp minds and friendly faces inspiring and influencing the next generation of young people. Acting as both teacher and role-model to young students from over 50 NSW Schools, you'll provide engaging, exciting and interactive activities through our Before School, After School and Vacation Care services.

As a valued member of our OSHC family, you'll be responsible for the safety and wellbeing of developing young minds, while supporting our OSHC Coordinators to ensure our services stay the very best they can be. You'll work closely with the children (and their parents), sharing your wisdom, support and passions with them to help them grow.

This isn't your typical 9-5 role – and if you bring the dedication, focus and commitment, you'll enjoy the flexibility of a career in education, where you can build a schedule that works for you. If you're excited by the opportunity of a promising career creating meaningful opportunities for young people who need them, you'll almost certainly learn a thing or two yourself!
