Most importantly, you will be responsible for the physical care and close supervision of young children, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times.

To qualify for this role, you must have a Certificate in Child Care. Experience in classroom assistance, aftercare programs, and setting up for events is highly preferred. Strong organizational skills, the ability to work well in a team, and a commitment to the school’s Methodist Christian values are essential.

This is a permanent position starting on January 1, 2027. The role offers the opportunity to work in a well-established, values-driven school environment.
