Educator - Bli Bli OSHC

Join Our Team at Good Samaritan OSHC, Bli Bli!

Are you a passionate and experienced educator looking for a rewarding part-time opportunity where you can use your qualifications and develop your leadership skills?

We’re looking for a Diploma-qualified Educator to join the welcoming team at Good Samaritan OSHC, Bli Bli. This role is ideal for an educator who is passionate about creating nurturing, engaging experiences for children and is comfortable stepping into Lead Educator responsibilities when required.

Located on the beautiful Good Samaritan Catholic College campus in Bli Bli, our OSHC service operates from a contemporary, purpose-built, stand-alone space. Our team provides a welcoming environment where children can feel safe, connected and supported before school, after school and during vacation care.

One of the great benefits of this role is the opportunity to broaden your experience. When required, you may also assist within the on-campus Kindergarten, giving you valuable experience across both early childhood and school-aged settings — all within the one school community.

Our team is responsible for daily drop-offs and pick-ups from Good Samaritan Catholic College, while children enjoy a range of engaging experiences throughout the day. From healthy breakfasts and helping prepare afternoon snacks to outdoor play, creative activities, excursions and special events during vacation care, no two days are quite the same.

You’ll join a collaborative team that values positive relationships, inclusion and creating meaningful experiences for every child.
