Child Care Worker MacKids (Areyonga)

• Qualified Child Care Worker
• Remote Community Location

MacDonnell Regional Council is looking for a full-time qualified Early Childhood Educator to join our team at Areyonga in 2020 as the qualified Child Care Worker.

You will be responsible for implementing and overseeing the day to day delivery of all MacKids programs in community, working alongside a team of local educators to provide culturally relevant education and care programs for children from birth to school age.

You will need:

• A Diploma in Early Childhood Education or other qualification recognised by ACECQA
• A sense of humour
• Ability to be flexible
• Open to new ways of thinking and working
• Experience in working in cross-cultural and bilingual environments

Living and working on a remote community within MacDonnell Regional Council:

Our centres are located on small remote communities varying from 100 - 650Kms (travel on mainly dirt roads) from Alice Springs. The experience of living and working in a remote Aboriginal community is both a privilege and a great learning opportunity as you immerse yourself in a world that most Australians will never experience, however it can be a demanding career and life choice. Usually our staff spend their spare time exploring the beautiful desert surroundings and take advantage of the adventure offered when living in a remote location. It is important to develop hobbies and to plan activities. Most importantly, the demands of the job should not be underplayed. You will have good days and bad, but each day is a new day with a new set of challenges.

This is an incredible opportunity to live and work in Central Australia, for further information contact
