Childcare Worker

Visa sponsorship

Education · Cairns, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $65,000 - $75,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored

If you love being around little ones, here is an opening worth a close look, kabayan. Two childcare centres in Cairns are growing their teams with 12 full-time Childcare Workers who will look after children aged 0 to 6.

Applicants should be working towards a Certificate III or already hold one, or hold a Diploma in Early Childhood. Many carers who have looked after children at home or while working overseas will recognise the heart of this work: making each child feel welcome, supporting a quality curriculum and staying close to families.

The company has Government approval to sponsor qualified overseas workers, and the occupation is on the approved list. This depends on the visa type and conditions, a successful ACECQA skills assessment, English test scores and completing a trial period.

Before you apply, update your English CV so your Certificate III or Diploma studies and your hands-on experience with young children stand out. Polish your Cairns childcare CV with Build AI CV.
