Working as a reliever with ECE Consultants allows you to have some flexibility in your lifestyle.  Assignments vary from three hours to three months; hours per day vary from three hours to up to nine hours. You may wish to only be available for work one day a week, or up to five, maybe only some weeks of the year. You may prefer to only do day to day relieving or be available for day to day and longer term.

Relievers are encouraged to keep us informed of their situation, and availability and we endeavour to find shifts to suit their needs.

ECE relievers come from all walks of life, but have one thing in common – the genuine enjoyment of working with, and caring for children, and the desire to make a difference.

There is no such thing as a typical reliever.  Relieving suits many people, male and female. You may be a mother or grandmother looking for some added income, social interaction or a bit of fun, a student needing to work to support your study, or a student wishing to gain experience which is relevant to your degree or diploma.  At ECE Consultants we pride ourselves on respecting everyone’s unique skills and attributes. We have an awesome team of fabulous relievers.

To be a successful reliever you need to be approachable, friendly and proactive. A positive “can do” attitude and the ability to take direction well. The ability to navigate around town is also a must. 

Working with preschool children can be physically demanding, but also extremely rewarding. Childcare centres are busy, often noisy environments.  There is never a dull moment, and always a funny story to share afterwards.
