Bubup Wilam Aboriginal Child and Family Centre is seeking an experienced Early Childhood Trainer & Assessor. You’ll play a pivotal role training future early childhood educators undertaking study in the Certificate III and Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care.

Who we are?

Bubup Wilam Aboriginal Child and Family Centre is a thriving Aboriginal community controlled organisation based in Thomastown. Bubup Wilam delivers a holistic and integrated family focused model of care, which addresses the complex needs of Aboriginal children and families. Our programs include:

• Aboriginal early years enhanced education program.
• BWEL Health and Wellbeing program, including an NDIA registered Early Childhood Intervention Service (ECIS).
• Prevention and early intervention support for children and families.
• Family and community strengthening, support, referral and advocacy.
• Workforce Development, Employment and Training.
• General education and community engagement on Aboriginal issues.

Our Core Values

Our approach is based on the understanding that young Aboriginal children and their families need holistic, culturally safe, Aboriginal-led programs to support them to overcome entrenched social disadvantage, to have the opportunity to develop their potential and to thrive within their communities and the wider world.

Bubup Wilam meaning ‘Children’s Place’ in Woi Wurrung language seeks to underpin and strengthen that vision through the service’s philosophy of instilling and strengthening children’s strong sense of Aboriginal identity and personal self-esteem as their foundation for lifelong learning, health and wellbeing. This equates to children, and with the support of their parents and extended family, taking a lead responsibility in owning and maintaining their own identity and developing their play, space, interaction, learning and engagement with others in a confident and supported way. We aim to ensure our children at a very early age begin the journey in reaching their full human potential.
