ABOUT US:

Community Services #1 is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting people and families in the ACT and surrounding NSW regions. With over 200 employees and volunteers, we deliver programs that address community needs and foster a sense of belonging.
At Narrabundah Cottage, we cater children 6 weeks to 2 years and provide secure nurturing environment catering to individual needs of babies and families.
The Traineeship Program will allow you to complete a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care whilst in paid employment and gaining experience in a supportive environment.
We offer full time traineeships for school leavers who may be looking to start their career in early education. This is also a great opportunity for those looking for a career change or hoping to return to work.
