Childcare Educator - ECT, Diploma or Experienced Cert 3

A Magical Time Children's Centre is a small, locally owned and operated child care centre with amazing children, families and educators.  

Our centre prides itself on being family orientated and our educators are included in our A Magical Time family.  We employ over ratios every day and offer mentor programs to assist each and every one of our educators.

We are searching for a highly self motivated, enthusiastic and fun person to join our team.

The successful candidate must hold the following essential criteria:

* A big smile that will brighten a child's day.

* Throughout the course of the day, you will have to multi task and be prepared to perform many different roles - for example if a child requests you to be a disney princess, then you must have the ability to be the best princess that you can be and/or you may be required to make a cup of tea using sand and water and act that it is the best tea in town while you pretend to drink it.

* The ability to sing in tune is not necessary, however the ability to sing out of tune in front of a group of tiny humans is essential!

* You must have big warm hugs and so much love to share.

* Having eyes in the back of your head is essential.

* You must have the ability to read a story book upside down and after at least 5 interruptions per page be able to pick up where you left off (or make up a realistic ending that can convince some of the smartest 4 year olds in town).

* The ability to engage in lots of fun activities throughout the day and being prepared for messy play is a daily requirement.

* The best part is you will make some wonderful friends with our amazing team of educators and everyday is different.

* An Early Childhood Teaching qualification, a Diploma in Children’s Services, or a Certificate III in Children’s Services with a willingness to continue study toward a Diploma.

* Leadership qualities and enthusiasm to further develop your skills would go along way. 

* Current working with children check is essential.

* Approved first aid certificate with asthma & anaphylaxis training is required.
