Steady work offers and above-award rates at many of our centres means you’ll earn more than if you used traditional recruitment agencies
Great ratings mean more job opportunities. You’ll never be out of work.
The single biggest difference is a more direct, seamless process. Talent Now connects educators with childcare centres directly, while traditional recruitment agencies add a costly and time-consuming intermediary step.
In addition to this, you become an employee of the centres you work with, paid by them directly, rather than Talent Now.
Talent Now is completely free for early childhood educators!
Yes, you’ll need to be qualified or working towards an NQF approved qualification to accept early childhood educator jobs. Most jobs require a Cert III, Diploma or an educator working towards their qualification. For Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) jobs, positions require at least a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education or a related field, as well as accreditation/teachers registration.
We are often asked… “How much will I be paid?” It’s a fair question, and it seems a lot of educators are not clear on the answer, or how they can find out.
No matter if you are new to Early Childhood Education or not, the Children’s Services Award (the conditions and pay rates determined by the Government) is confusing for many.
One of the first things to be aware of is that the rate of pay is dependent on both your qualification level AND your experience.
The good news is that the Award sets out the legal minimum you should be paid, and this increases a little each year from 1 July.
Refer to our blog “How much will I be paid?” for more information.
No. While the flexibility and freedom of choice that Talent Now provides lends itself to casuals, it is also a great tool for part-timers to pick up additional work, or to connect staff with centres who may offer more permanent work opportunities.
All our educators are rated by the centres where they work. This means your hard work can be rewarded by earning you a higher rating, which in turn increases your chance of receiving job offers in the future.
If a centre chooses, they can add you to their favourites, making you a preferred educator. This means you can get a first look at job offers from that centre in the future.
Yes! Childcare assistant jobs are an important part of early childhood education and are one of many positions offered through Talent Now.
An early childhood educator job typically refers to a professional who works with children aged 0 to 5 years, focusing on their developmental needs and learning. A preschool job often involves teaching children in a structured setting, preparing them for primary school.
