Working at BFS Children's Services, there’s a lot to smile about. The trust you’ll be given in exchange for your expertise. The freedom you’ll be given to use your judgement, adapt learning approaches, and bring creativity and playfulness to a child’s day.

Right now, we’re looking for a Diploma Educator to join Cobblers Hill Community Preschool in Figtree. We have a large outdoor play space with vegetable gardens, a large sand pit, set in a natural environment with trees and rocks to provide children opportunities to engage with nature. We have two separate yards to ensure a safe space for our 0–3-year-olds, while giving our 4 – 5-year-olds a space to actively explore. We also have an oval located next to our centre which allows children to explore their natural environment as well as engage in physical play.
