Hi everyone
I have a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood & Primary). I have been doing CRT in kindergartens, schools and Childcare centres since I graduated almost a year ago. I have recently stopped doing primary teaching as I really dislike it. At the moment I'm thinking I want to go back to university to do a Bachelor of Nursing starting next year. I adore children and would love to be a room leader with little ones but nursing has always been a dream of mine too.I figure I can do a nursing degree and possibly do some of both once I graduate. I want to work full time ( or close to it ) for the rest of this year to save some money. There is a position going at a lovely centre in my area. It's advertised as a Cert 3 position. Just wondering if I would get paid as a cert 3? Or a bachelor/diploma? Can pre-kindergarten room leaders (0-3) get paid as a bachelor or do they get paid as a diploma?
Thanks,
Natasha

Re: Bachelor qualified working as assistant/diploma
If the position is for a cert 3 that means it's an assistant position to the room leader. If you're a diploma qualified you can have an assistant position and you'll be classified as a Level 3.4 minimum wage is $22.11/ per hour. However this is more pay than what a typical cert 3 qualified will get. It's best to contact the centre itself and let them know you are looking for a position at their centre. You may be surprised and what they may be able to offer you... You never know...

Happy to help! Awesome to hear you like this site!
Good Luck and remember even though you may be "over qualified" for a position it's best to continue to show interest and apply because an opportunity within the same centre may come up!
