Monday/Tuesday Head Teacher
Do you love teaching children German? Do you enjoy working with children with love and care, heart and soul? Do you want a whole lot less paperwork than big childcare centres require (and therefore more time to dedicate quality time to the children)? Then the the German/English program on Mondays and Tuesdays is for you! We are offering 2 days/week: Mondays and Tuesdays, 8:20am to 3:00pm. There is also the possibility of further work on other days. This is a CSE Level 3 or 4 role, and you will be working as a Head or Assistant Teacher in the Playschool class, depending on your qualifications. Impress us with an inspiring session delivered at our morning circle (as part of your interview process). The Head Teacher role requires a Diploma or Degree qualification in Early Childhood Education (ECE) or Children’s services, Sozialpädagogik, or similar. Ideally, you have prior children’s services or early childhood teaching experience. Your spoken German should be fluent enough to work with children and families. Apply and find out more at SEEK.
Casual Staff
Do you love spending time with kids? Do you want to put your German language skills to good use in Canberra? Do you want to work occasionally at the GAP or one of our facilitated playgroups? We are looking for lovely casual staff who can fill in for staff when they are sick or on holidays. This could be at relatively short notice, or with some advance notice. We can offer shifts during GAP (8:20-2:45pm on Mondays and Tuesdays) or our after-GAP activities (2:30pm-5:30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays).
