Our Community. Our Calling. Our Foundation.

Kingsley College is more than a school; it’s a thriving, Christ-centred community grounded in the Word of God, where education is shaped by purpose, faith, and genuine care. Since 1993, the College has been committed to developing students through a strong biblical foundation, recognising the Lordship of Christ in every aspect of College life.

Located in Rockhampton, Kingsley has experienced consistent growth and now supports more than 200 students across on-campus and distance education. What truly sets the College apart is its close-knit culture, where educators are known, supported, and encouraged to grow not only in their careers but also in their faith.

Our Early Learning Centre, opened in 2022, is a modern, purpose-built environment designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and connection in children aged 3–4. Through play-based, inquiry-led learning and strong relational practice, we create a space where children—and educators—can truly thrive.

Your Opportunity - Make a Meaningful Impact

Kingsley College is looking for Educators to join our Early Learning Centre in Rockhampton, QLD.

This is more than just an educator role; it’s an opportunity to be part of a supportive, faith-driven team where your work each day helps shape a child’s confidence, curiosity, and love of learning. At the same time, you’ll be supported to grow your own career through structured development and study pathways.

More specifically, your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  1. Leading and facilitating engaging, child-centred play experiences across indoor and outdoor environments
  2. Supporting the delivery of play-based, inquiry-led programs aligned with the EYLF
  3. Building strong, respectful relationships with children, families, and colleagues
  4. Observing and documenting children’s learning and development in meaningful ways
  5. Maintaining a safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment
  6. Collaborating with educators and leadership to support curriculum delivery and daily routines

The centre operates from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday, with this role supporting key periods including breaks and school holiday programs, offering variety in your work.

Who YOU are - What YOU bring

To qualify, you will need a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (or be working towards it, including candidates who have completed a Certificate III), along with a valid Queensland Working with Children Check (Blue Card), or the ability to obtain one prior to commencement.

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

  1. Sound understanding of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)
  2. Experience supporting play-based and child-led learning
  3. Ability to work collaboratively within a supportive and values-driven team
  4. Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  5. Confidence using digital tools for documentation and communication
