Join our team

We value our staff. That’s why they choose us.

More importantly, it’s why they stay.

South Perth Early Childhood Centre is a great place to work. We are proud of our very low staff turnover, and the positive impact that has on our families. We think working with children is the most important job in the world. And we reward our staff accordingly, offering:

  • Excellent professional development
  • Above-award wages
  • Higher staff/child ratios
  • Six weeks leave per year
  • Long service leave after 10 years (pro-rata after 7)
  • Five hours per week non-contact time
  • A supportive environment with opportunities for personal growth
  • Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) for any out-of-hours training

We set the bar high because we want exceptional people.

As an employer of choice, people often contact us hoping to join our team.

We’re picky about who we recruit. We’re looking for qualified educators who are passionate about providing children with the best possible care and education. A commitment to continuous professional development is also essential.

We employ non-educators too.

At SPECC, we employ a number of ancillary staff in non-contact positions, and to cover lunchtime relief duties. Volunteers also contribute in a variety of ways to the smooth running of our Centre.

Our educators are supported to focus on what they do best – caring for and educating children. They are not expected to do the cleaning, for example. This is the job each night for a professional cleaning company.

It (almost) goes without saying, we’re a family-friendly workplace.

Providing good care starts with our staff. It’s our recipe for a happy and rewarding environment.

So if working with children is more of a calling than a job, we’d love to hear from you.

Feel free to get in touch.
