The Victorian Government has introduced great incentives for Educators and Teachers to make the switch to teaching Kindergarten.
The government recognises that quality Kindergarten can’t be provided without employing the best Teachers in the right places to teach these programs. So, they are investing in our children’s future by offering incentives for eligible qualified Early Childhood Teachers who take on new roles at certain Goodstart centres.
It’s both a great idea and a great opportunity if you’ve been thinking about getting back into early childhood education, or relocating to a regional area in Victoria.
Incentives for Teachers
At Goodstart, we already pay a bonus to Kinder teachers for their first two years. But the Victorian Government Individual and Location Incentives on offer make that package even more rewarding.
It could mean you get $9,000 for taking up Kindergarten teaching again. Or it could mean you receive up to $50,000 for accepting a role at selected centres. Or it could mean you get both! And there is relocation support of up to $8,000 available if you move more than 200km for your new position.
In addition, at Goodstart we offer salaries for Kindergarten teachers that are on par with State Government primary school salaries, 50% off your childcare gap fees, 4 weeks paid parental leave, two personal wellbeing days a year, and up to up to six hours a fortnight of non-contact time.
With the extra bonuses from the Victorian Government, it makes a lot of sense to teach Kindergarten at Goodstart!
