Job Description

We are looking for enthusiastic and committed Casual Educators to join our Froebel Carlton team!

Froebel Carlton is one of five early learning services run by the not-for-profit provider Froebel Australia. The centre has 97 places for children from approximately 6 months to 5 years of age across three purpose-built levels and is located in the heart of the University of Melbourne’s Melbourne Connect precinct. Opened in January 2022, our state-of-the-art service is designed to act as the “third teacher,” supporting rich, intentional learning experiences every day.

Our program focuses on immersive language learning (with Spanish as a second community language), inquiry-based early STEM learning through our Little Scientists program, and education for sustainability aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We actively engage with the Melbourne Connect community of professionals and families and regularly undertake excursions within the precinct and into nature beyond.

We offer you:

  • a casual role providing learning and care for children together with a collaborative team
  • sustainable practices and excursions within the community
  • an employee wellbeing program with regular initiatives
  • a complimentary employee assistance program (access to confidential professional counselling services)
  • a supportive Centre Director, Assistant Director and Educational Leader
  • a centrally located environment, very accessible by public transport

We need you to

  • hold an approved Certificate III or Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care or to be studying towards one of those qualifications
  • hold 6 months minimum experience in an Australian ELC environment
  • be able to communicate effectively with colleagues, families and community members
  • be flexible with your working hours
  • have a keen interest in immersive language learning (Spanish and German language skills would be a plus but aren't a must) and inquiry-based learning
  • have an understanding of contemporary child safe practices
  • last but definitely not least: have a sunny personality with a positive mindset!

📧 If this is you, please use the apply button and attach your resume and ideally also a short cover letter/note introducing yourself and stating which days you are available to work! 🙂

Froebel is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

About Froebel Australia

Froebel offers families and children early learning services with a commitment to immersive language learning, inquiry-based early STEM exploration and well-designed, inspiring learning environments. The not-for-profit organisation is operating early learing centres in Sydney and Melbourne, collaborating with its parent organisation in Berlin.

We are guided by the ideas of Friedrich Fröbel, renowned as the founder of the kindergarten concept, a pioneer of progressive education, a victim of political persecution, a life-long fighter for children’s right to have access to education and a protected childhood. His educational goal was to raise responsible citizens through a holistic approach to fostering children’s development in partnership with their parents.

VISION

We want every child to have the opportunity to grow into a curious, capable, caring and contributing global citizen, beginning with an empowered childhood.

MISSION

At Froebel, we contribute to this vision by promoting children’s rights to self-determination and participation, recognising the integrity of childhood in its own right. We scaffold children’s learning by providing contemporary immersive language learning programs, play- and inquiry-based early education, tailored to the individual child, as the foundation for sustainable community engagement within a connected world. Our educators transform children’s curiosity into learning - with knowledge, professionalism and vigour. We are part of the village that raises a child, and nurture collaborative relationships.
