Playgroup Facilitator (Mornings) – Immediate Start

You'll care for and teach young children at a workplace day care centre in Kariega, from nappies to first letters. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Kariega, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Follow the NCF daily programme and adapt it for each age group
• Observe each child and note milestones in their development file
• Help aftercare learners with homework and reading
• Chat to parents at drop-off and pick-up about how the day went
• Clean and sanitise toys, mats and tables at the end of the day
• Feed, change and settle babies and toddlers on their routine

• Paediatric first aid certificate
• Warm, patient and energetic with small children
• Able to follow hygiene and safety routines without cutting corners
• Experience caring for children in a group setting, even as a volunteer
• Clear Form 30 child protection check and police clearance

• Speak more than one home language of the children you'll teach
• Experience with children with special needs

• Short holiday closures over December and Easter
• Sponsored ECD Level 5 studies
• Lunch provided on school days
• Reduced fees for your own child

• Apply for the Form 30 check early, as it can take weeks and many creches won't appoint without it.
