Still have questions?

A few of the things people ask us most.

Do I need childcare qualifications?
Not always. Requirements vary depending on the role and the state or territory you'll work in. If you're unsure, the official ACECQA Qualification Checker can help, and our recruitment team is always happy to guide you.
Can I work around university?
Definitely. TeamKids is a popular employer for uni students because our shifts fit around lectures and study. Many of our team study education, teaching, psychology and health sciences.
How much do OSHC Educators earn?
We offer competitive pay in line with the Children's Services Award and applicable agreements. Your rate depends on your role, qualifications, experience and employment type, plus any applicable allowances, penalties and superannuation.
How long does the recruitment process take?
We aim to move quickly and will be in touch about the next steps as soon as we can. Educator roles can often be completed within one to two weeks.
Do I need a Working With Children Check?
Yes. All TeamKids employees need a valid Working With Children Check (or state equivalent) before working with children. If you don't have one yet, our team can guide you through it.
