Family-centred practice is the gold standard in early childhood intervention services. We understand that each family is unique, and parents know their child's needs and abilities best.

Families spend the most amount of time with their child and are already making a big difference during everyday activities and routines. Children thrive in natural learning environments, such as the home and childcare, where they are part of the community. We work in partnership with families to provide the right support and positive outcomes.

We seek full or part-time staff available a minimum of 3 days/week to deliver quality family-centred support in partnership with families.

Plumtree is an equal-opportunity employer, and people from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Applications are ongoing.
