Be paid award traineeship rates to study while you learn! NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Gain a qualification whilst you work. A childcare traineeship is a great way to find out if a career in childcare is for you. You will obtain a Certificate III in Children's Services on completion of the 18-month traineeship.
To work in childcare, you need to have a qualification for childcare or be studying childcare. If you already have a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education or are halfway through studying towards a qualification, you do not meet the requirements for this position as it is for an unqualified applicant.
We are currently seeking a highly motivated individual who is passionate about childcare and dedicated to their own learning to join our team as a Trainee. We will provide you with a traineeship contract giving you on-the-job training and resources to complete a Certificate III in Children's Services (no cost to you) whilst being guided and mentored by supportive and experienced educators.
You will be paid award traineeship rates (the rate offered will depend on the highest level of schooling completed and how long it is since you left school). You will be formally signed up with Apprenticeships Australia as a childcare trainee.
