Are you looking for a rewarding career opportunity in a welcoming regional community? We are currently seeking both an experienced Centre Manager and a passionate Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) to join a new, purpose built 90 place Centre in Charters Towers.

Whether you're an experienced leader ready to shape a new service from the ground up, or an enthusiastic teacher looking to make a meaningful impact in children's early years, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Charters Towers?

Enjoy the perfect balance of career opportunity and lifestyle in this friendly regional community. With short commutes, and a relaxed pace, you'll have more time to focus on what matters most. Rich in history and full of country charm, Charters Towers offers a strong sense of community and is just a short drive from Townsville, providing easy access to beaches, shopping, dining, and travel connections.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact during the most formative years of a child's development. For many children in regional communities, access to a quality kindergarten program can significantly influence their school readiness, social development, and long term educational outcomes. Your work will help ensure children enter school with the skills, confidence, and foundations they need to thrive.

Centre Manager

As Centre Manager, you will lead all aspects of the service, including operations, compliance, team leadership, and family engagement. You will play a key role in building a positive team culture, mentoring educators, and ensuring the delivery of exceptional early learning outcomes.

Early Childhood Teacher (ECT)

As the Early Childhood Teacher, you will play a pivotal role in delivering a high-quality, play based kindergarten program that fosters children's confidence, curiosity, and love of learning.

You will create engaging learning experiences that balance child led exploration with intentional teaching. You will champion the value of play based learning while supporting each child's individual strengths, interests, and developmental needs.

You will work collaboratively with educators and families to create an inclusive learning environment where children feel safe, capable, and excited to learn.

About You

  • Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (or ACECQA-approved equivalent)
  • Current Teacher Registration (or eligibility)
  • Strong understanding of the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines
  • Passion for play based learning and supporting positive outcomes for children
