at  YMCA NSW

Date: 1 Mar 2024
Location: Padstow Heights, AU

Company: YMCA NSW

• Inspire and influence young hearts and minds
• Create valuable opportunities outside of the classroom
• Unique casual role with flexible hours and working arrangements, to help your work-life balance

We are looking for committed educators to support children at our OSHC services at Padstow Heights.
Our Out-of-School-Hours Educators are the sharp minds and friendly faces inspiring and influencing the next generation of young people. Acting as both teacher and role-model to young students from over 60 NSW Schools, they provide engaging, exciting and interactive activities through our Before School, After School and Vacation Care services. As a member of our OSHC family, you’ll be responsible for the safety and wellbeing of developing young minds, while supporting our OSHC Coordinators to ensure our services stay the very best they can be. You’ll work closely with the children (and their parents), sharing your wisdom, support and passions with them to help them grow.
This isn’t your typical 9-5 role – and if you bring the dedication, focus and commitment, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of a career in education, where you can build a schedule that works for you. So if you’re excited by the opportunity of a promising career creating meaningful opportunities for young people who need them, you’ll almost certainly learn a thing or two yourself.

• You will help design a calendar of inclusive, exciting, and engaging program activities
• Reporting to the Coordinators of our OSHC centres, you will be one of over 200 educators who support children across NSW.You will be able to follow our development pathways to learn new skills and build your career

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL HAVE:

• Experience supervising and interacting with children
• Ability to follow safeguarding priorities
• Availability to supervise Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care hours
• HLTAID004 /HLTAID012 - Current First Aid and CPR
