Greater Shepparton City Council is excited to announce its second 'Empowering Early Years' Recruitment Day, following the success of last year's event.
The initiative aims to streamline the recruitment process and make a career in early childhood education more accessible. The event will take place on Wednesday 23 October 2024 at the McIntosh Centre in Shepparton, from 3pm to 5.30pm, with flexible session times to accommodate busy schedules and ensure a comfortable experience for all attendees.
The Empowering Early Years recruitment day will offer an inclusive and welcoming environment, where attendees can meet Council's Children's Services team, experience informal interviews, and potentially secure a position. Feedback to applicants will be provided within two weeks, making the recruitment process quicker and more efficient.
Greater Shepparton City Council Manager – Early Years Operations and Reform, Stacey East, said Council were looking forward to chatting with potential employees at the event and assisting them with a fast-tracked recruitment experience.
"We are eager to meet potential employees who are passionate about early childhood education, and this event will help individuals join our team in a way that is far less daunting than usual," she said.
"We're confident this recruitment day will attract talented, dedicated people to make a real difference in the lives of children across Greater Shepparton."
There will be a variety of roles within Council's Early Years Operations and Reform Department on offer during the event, including positions at Council's Long Day Care and Kindergarten Services. Attendees will have the chance to explore multiple opportunities and find the best fit for their skills and passions.
Council's Early Childhood Teacher, Madeline Sewell, said working in the early years sector is extremely rewarding and a role they thoroughly enjoy.
"Every day brings new opportunities to support and guide young children as they learn and grow. Being part of their development during these crucial years is something truly special. Council provides robust support for our educators, ensuring we have the resources and environment needed to thrive in this vital profession."
"I encourage anyone passionate about shaping the future of young children to apply and take the first step towards a fulfilling career", Ms Sewell said.
Registrations open on Friday 4 October and will close at 12pm on Monday 21 October 2024.
