Diploma Educator (Permanent Part-Time | 37.5 hrs/week)
Pacific Lutheran Early Learning

We asked our children what matters most in an educator… and this is what they told us:

“Someone who is nice, funny, listens to us, plays with us and helps us.”

Our children are looking for an educator who will join them in their adventures, listen to their ideas, wonder alongside them, and help them learn and grow.

They would love someone who:

• Is kind, caring, and fun

• Listens to what they have to say

• Plays soccer, builds cubbies, creates masterpieces, and explores new ideas

• Doesn’t mind joining a world of mermaids, dinosaurs, superheroes, or whatever their imagination creates

• Helps them when they need support

• Makes them feel safe, valued, and important

If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.

At Pacific Lutheran Early Learning, children’s voices guide our practice and are reflected through our daily routines, rituals, and learning experiences. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and inquiry-based learning, we create meaningful, play-rich environments where curiosity and ideas are valued, celebrated, and explored together.

We are deeply committed to upholding children’s rights, with child safety and wellbeing at the centre of every decision we make.

We asked our families too… and they’re looking for an educator who is:

• Warm, friendly and welcoming

• Attentive and present

• Genuinely interested in getting to know each child

• Kind and caring, while also confident in guiding and supporting children

• Committed and consistent, with a confident approach that supports children’s wellbeing

And our team? They’re looking for a colleague who:

• Brings a balance of professionalism, warmth and flexibility

• Has a strong work ethic and takes pride in what they do

• Reflects on their practice and is open to learning and growing

• Genuinely enjoys being an educator and contributing to a positive team culture
