At Trident Early Learning, we are committed to employing educators who are passionate about early childhood education and aspire to make a difference in the lives of children, families and the community. We believe that our team is one big, happy family who are devoted to continuously evolving and improving within the early childhood sector.

We are passionate about training educators who are new to the sector. Educators in leadership or seniority roles will expand on the knowledge of new employees through guidance, mentoring, resources and hands-on learning experiences. There are regular opportunities to progress into new roles throughout the centre and organisation, including promotion into management positions. 

Ensuring our team are thriving is of the utmost importance, and that means supporting all of our staff professionally and personally throughout their journey. We have a strong focus on health and wellbeing, as well a commitment to continuous improvement, diversity, inclusion, community, education, compliance, social justice, reconciliation, child-safe practices, and meaningful partnerships.
