Wanted: Job in Child care

Published 1 year, 6 months ago in My life.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any jobs out there for Certificate III Assistants in Child care.

I’m currently working casually for an agency which sends me to different centres all over the East/South East of Melbourne, as well as working casually for a private hospital also doing child care.

I wish to have a job a little bit more permanent (not casual or temporary), and am considering studying for my Diploma of Children’s Services via correspondence.

I’ve been working in Child Care since 2004, working with children between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years. I have Senior First Aid – Level 2, Emergency Asthma training and Anaphylaxis/EpiPen training. I also have experience caring for children with disabilities, including 2 young adults (19 and 21 years) with Mild Intellectual Disabilities who I regularly care for and have done so for about 9 years.

Any prospective employer will gain someone with child care experience, trained, very keen to work and learn as well as the possibility of a qualified worker in approx one year if I do embark on the Diploma course.

Please leave a message if you know of any possible positions.

Also on a different matter does anyone know of anyone who is studying or have studied Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (or similar) as a family member of mine is just embarking on this course via distance learning and would like to know if there is anyone out there who she could bounce ideas off and basically have a study partner even if it is via email.

Thanks guys

Cant you put your name down at ABC Kids? surely they would place you in one of their centres, should a position come up??

As an agency worker I work mainly in ABC centres, but they would have to buy the contract between me and my agency and they are too stingy to do that. I do however forard my resume to them every couple of months just in case, but never hear anything back.

Get your resume/CV and post it to as many organisations as you can afford too. I did it and I got a 50% return and was able to pick and choose who I felt I wanted to work for. Good Luck.

Ring up the centres’ directors, ask to book an appointment and get a professional CV drawn up. Then, you’re in with a real big chance!

Profile

I am a Child care assistant working for an agency. I travel from Child Care centre to Child Care centre when an extra member of staff is needed. I have a Cert III in children's Services, First Aid, EpiPen (Anaphylaxis) trainin, Emergency Asthma traing and would willingly take on a full time job in a centre if offered. So far my job has taken me to the far reaches of Langwarrin, Brighton, Blackburn and Narrewarren. Every day I could be somewhere different. Meeting new people every day and always being the "New Girl" not quite understanding how things work in a centre and always asking questions.
