Vacancies and timetables may change 

The positions listed are tentative. Groups, session times and available hours may change as enrolments and timetables are confirmed. 

Rostered hours 

Your roster will include at least 15 minutes before and after each session, in addition to your planning time. Planning time will be scheduled with your Nominated Supervisor and Co-educators. 

Priority for teachers whose hours or groups are changing 

Teachers who are losing significant hours or whose groups are closing will be offered available vacancies before those vacancies are advertised to all internal staff. 

Team Teacher vacancies 

If a Team Teacher vacancy is for less than a full day, it may be offered directly to a teacher already working at that kindergarten. 

Vacancies suitable for Early Career Teachers 

Not all vacancies are suitable for Early Career Teachers. Early Learning Managers will consider: 

• The complexity of the kindergarten group. 
• The level of support available from the Nominated Supervisor and Education Leader. 

Usually, only one Teacher position at each kindergarten will be suitable for an Early Career Teacher.
