Permanent Educator | Journey Early Learning Kawana 

At Kawana, we do things a little differently.

This is a centre where educators are trusted to do their best work — not rushed through the day, not confined to a room, and not just ticking boxes.

You’ll be part of a team that takes children beyond the gate, with small group learning experiences, including community excursions and nature-based programs that bring learning to life.

Why this role is different

  • Small group experiences (not large, overwhelming ratios)
  • Real-world learning through excursions and outdoor environments
  • A team that supports each other,no one works in isolation
  • Consistent routines that allow you to focus on quality interactions
  • Leadership that is present, responsive, and values your input

What your day will look like

  • Working closely with a small, consistent group of children
  • Supporting learning that is hands-on, child-led and meaningful
  • Engaging in outdoor and community-based experiences
  • Building strong, positive relationships with children, families and your team
  • Contributing to a calm, structured and well-supported environment

What we are looking for?

We are looking for educators who:

  • Value quality interactions over busy work
  • Are confident supporting children in real-world environments
  • Work well as part of a team and communicate openly
  • Are reliable and ready to contribute positively to team culture

Requirements

  • Certificate III, Diploma or working towards
  • Current Working with Children Check
  • Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma & Anaphylaxis (or willingness to obtain)

Why Kawana?

This is a centre where:

  • You can finish your day knowing children have had meaningful experiences
  • You are supported to grow, not just fill a position
  • Your work has purpose and you can see the impact

If you're looking for a centre where you can build genuine relationships, be trusted to do your best work, and make a meaningful difference in children's lives, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and discover what makes Journey Early Learning Kawana different.

Journey Early Learning promotes the safety, well-being, and inclusion of all children, including those with a disability, from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds. We are committed to all children's safety, participation, and empowerment.
