We are seeking dedicated Early Childhood specialists with a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.

The desired applicants will ideally be enthusiastic individuals that seek opportunities for innovation and ongoing improvement and have the proven ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
Vacancies may arise during the life of this pool that require specialist qualifications (for example vacancies within Early Childhood Education). Only applicants, in the pool, possessing the required qualifications will be considered for appointment in these circumstances.
To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate your competency against the following domains (that govern the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers):
- Professional knowledge;

Applications will be assessed against these domains. The business needs of the school may also be considered. It is therefore recommended that you consider all information contained in the advertisement and any other related information before applying for the vacancy.
