OSHC Educator - Cowes - Unqualified

What's the opportunity?

Y Victoria is currently seeking Casual Educators for our Before and After School Care and School Holiday Programs within Cowes Primary School. This is a casual position, with working hours varying from Monday to Friday, on a rostered basis between 7:00am - 9:00am and 2:30pm - 6:00pm (you'll also be paid split shift loading if you work both)! School Holidays shifts vary across 6:30am - 6:30pm.

The hourly rate for the position is $33.96 p/hour + 11.5% super.

As an Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC) Educator you will be dedicated to empowering young children and have a passion for providing engaging experiences. Supported by the OSHC team and an experienced Coordinator, you will enhance positive relationships with children, families and the school community while facilitating our Before and After School Care sessions and School Holiday programs.

What's in it for me?

Educators enjoy staff discounts on YMCA childcare, making it an ideal role for parents with school-aged children, as their kids can attend OSHC while they work. With hours that align with school schedules, this position provides a great work-life balance.

• Free access to gyms, recreation, and aquatics centres across the state
• Discounts for your children to attend a Y Victoria OSHC service or Early Learning centre
• Dual staffing policy - when you work at a Y OSHC service, you will always work alongside a Coordinator or another Educator
• Supportive management teams - Coordinators and Regional OSHC Coordinators who work on the floor, mentoring and providing guidance to our teams
• Split shift allowance - if you work both before and after school in the same day, you'll receive additional loading on all rostered hours for the day
• Flexible working and rostering arrangements
• Opportunities for career development and growth
• Free access to the Virtual Y - online health and wellness

What will I need?
