Our benefits are the same across all of our childcare jobs, including a competitive salary and allowances for study, uniforms and relocation. You can also enjoy generous childcare discounts to help with the cost of childcare for your own family.

We also offer a positive and flexible working environment where you’re empowered to use your voice, consult collaboratively and exceed in your role. We support our people with ongoing professional development through the Gowrie NSW Education Hub. With access to resources, programs and initiatives, you can deepen your knowledge and drive your career forward.

We don’t just talk about wellbeing, we prioritise it, giving our people access to a range of resources that their whole family can access. We run a monthly reward and recognition program so there’s never any doubt about how much we appreciate the collective contribution of our team.

What Our Educator’s Say...

White Quote

I highly recommend working for Gowrie NSW, I’ve been working in early childhood education and care for the past eight years, and I’ve worked for several other services before being employed by Gowrie. What stands out for me is the amount of support and learning you receive. We are currently getting support with conscious discipline to better support educators in their roles.
