Happy Educators
I joined Talent Now to find casual opportunities while exploring my next long-term career step. From the outset, the sign-up process was incredibly simple and intuitive. Since then I have taken on an Educational Leader role at a wonderful service that partners with Talent Now. The whole experience felt collaborative rather than transactional – I felt they were genuinely invested in helping me connect with the right opportunities.

Once your profile has been approved, you’ll see job alerts when centres post. The best part? You’ll only get notifications for jobs that align with your preferences. See a job you love? It can be yours in just one click.
To work as an approved educator, you’ll need to either be qualified or actively working towards an NQF-approved qualification, have a valid Working with Children Check for paid work and up to date certifications including Food Safety, Child Protection and First Aid. Most roles ask for a Cert III or Diploma — but don’t stress, the job details will spell it out. Plus, we’ll only send you roles you actually qualify for- because chaos isn’t our vibe.
After every casual childcare job you do, you get to rate the centre you work with and give direct feedback about your experience.
The rating is more than just sharing the love. Centres seek out 5-star educators! So the higher your rating, the more jobs you’ll get.
We are way more than a childcare recruitment agency, We’ve streamlined the process – getting all the necessary checks and screening done at the start – so all that’s left is matching you with the jobs you want.
