How Save Our Service is Addressing the Educator Shortage

The early childhood education sector in Australia is facing a shortage of qualified early childhood educators, putting pressure on childcare centres and impacting the quality of care for young children.

At Save Our Service (SOS) we are committed to tackling this challenge by providing staffing solutions and supporting both educators and childcare providers.

1. Building a Dedicated Casual Pool

At SOS we can help childcare centres establish their own dedicated casual pool. Centres can access a reliable pool of trained educators who are familiar with their policies, procedures, and children.

2. Streamlining Recruitment with Entire On Hire

SOS leverages technology to streamline the recruitment process. Our partnership with Entire On Hire enables centres to manage their staffing efficiently, track shifts, and connect with available educator. This seamless approach ensures that shifts are filled quickly, minimising disruptions to daily operations.

3. Providing Ongoing Professional Development

We have launched our very own Learning Management Software (LMS) which provides training modules tailored to the needs of early childhood educators. Our educators now have access to training that relates to industry knowledge and best practices. Educators are then able to take their learnings into their day-to-day roles.  

4. Supporting Educators with Flexible Work Opportunities

Many educators leave the sector due to inflexible work conditions. SOS addresses this by offering casual and permanent placement options, allowing educators to choose roles that suit their schedules and lifestyle.

5. Strengthening Industry Collaboration

SOS actively collaborates with industry bodies, childcare centres, and government organisations to develop long-term strategies for workforce sustainability.

At Save Our Service, we are committed to supporting early childhood education providers and educators by offering staffing solutions, professional development, and advocacy for better industry standards.
