You can play an important role in supporting children’s wellbeing, confidence, independence and sense of belonging. The relationships you build can have a lasting impact, helping children feel safe, valued and supported before and after the school day.
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
We are committed to inclusive, welcoming workplaces and learning communities where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered. As Catholic services for all, not just services for all Catholics, we welcome people of all backgrounds, faiths, identities and experiences. We value the diversity of our educators, children, families and communities, recognising that inclusion strengthens learning, connection and growth.
Flexibility
Working at Ambrose School Age Care offers the flexibility to balance work with your other commitments. Working in before and after school care can be ideal for those who are studying, have family commitments, or are looking for meaningful work without full-day shifts.
Fun and active
No two days are the same in School Age Care. Be involved in play, games, sport, creative activities, conversations with children and helping create a safe and positive environment. It’s a role that keeps you active, encourages creativity, and provides plenty of opportunities to connect with children through meaningful interactions.
A pathway into a career
For many educators, School Age Care is the first step towards a rewarding career in education, teaching, child development, or community services. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gain real world experience, build confidence, and develop transferable skills while working directly with children. It can also suit people who may not have worked in the sector before but enjoy working with children and are willing to learn.

Our services are connected to the Catholic school communities. You’ll be part of a welcoming and community-focused environment, working alongside schools, families and colleagues who share a commitment to supporting children and helping them thrive.
