Careers at Affinity Education

Our highest priorities are ensuring safety, delivering best-practice care and nurturing the children we care for. We uphold the highest standards in all aspects of our operations via the employment of qualified, high-quality educators, focused on compliance and safety, as well as quality of care.

All Affinity candidates undergo rigorous checks in accordance with Child Safe Standards such as:

• Completion of a series of interviews, via phone screening and in person meetings, by experienced staff and recruitment teams.Assessments focuses on employment consistency, amount of time in roles, and any unexplained gaps in employment.
• Completion of questionnaires and surveys to assess knowledge of child safety guidelines and policies with minimum pass rates required to progress to the next stage of recruitment
• Working with Children Check, Police Clearance and Qualification verifications as well as reference checks with previous employers.
  We have committed to refresher mandatory training for every Affinity employee across Australia on child safety policies, practices and legal obligations.

In addition, a number of key steps are also being introduced to address potential red flags such as gaps in employment, moving childcare employers over a short period of time, questionable references, switching industries into Childcare and inappropriate social media.
