We understand the valuable contribution that our teachers make to our teams, so our ECT offering might look a little different!
By joining us at Beyond Early Learning - Goolwa, you will be entitled to:
· A full time graduate salary beginning at $80,000, plus an allowance for attendance at paid staff meetings (paid at an overtime rate).

· Laptop computer to allow for efficient programming
· Generous programming time
· Priority rostering to reflect the typical hours of work of a preschool teacher
· Membership in our Employee Assistance Program
· Discount childcare Gap Fee
· Support to assist graduate teachers to move from provisional to full registration
As an additional commitment to our full time Early Childhood Teachers, we can offer an optional 40-hour work week, allowing you to accrue additional hours that can be taken as up to 2 weeks additional leave per year.
A part time or job share role would be considered for the right candidate.
Our Better with Beyond mentality ensures our staff wellbeing is a top priority.
We would love to hear from you if you have:
· A Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching or recognised equivalent qualification. Please note: a Graduate Certificate in Education is not recognised as equivalent by the South Australian Teacher's Registration Board.
· Experience working as an ECT would be an advantage.
· Outstanding knowledge of the EYLF and National Quality Framework (NQF).
· Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
· A robust understanding of technology and the ability to learn recent platforms and programs.
