Making a positive difference
If you are interested in applying for a job opportunity open at Kids Kottage Foundation, please fill out the application portal and attach your resume, cover letter and your qualifications (optional).
**We appreciate the interest of all applicants. However, we will only contact those selected for an interview. **
- Once you have submitted your application, and you are successfully selected to go forward in our hiring process, you will be contacted via email to schedule a pre-interview over the phone with our HR & Data Administrator (if you do not hear from us that means you have not been selected).
- After the pre-interview you will be scheduled to attend an in-person interview with our Executive Director and designate at our Administration Office. At this stage you will be asked to provide 3 references (at least 2 being supervisory).
- Once your references have been checked and if you are chosen for the position, you will receive an employment offer via email. If you accept the offer, you will be scheduled to come in person at our Admin Office to sign HR documents (At this stage you will need to submit your clear Criminal Record Check, Child Intervention Check (both within the last 6 months), qualifications (any degrees/diplomas/training certificates) and a void check for payroll). You will also be given a tour of the Crisis Nursery and start the orientation process.
- Note if you will be working part-time or full-time in the Crisis Nursery there are some orientation shifts that must be done before you will start your scheduled rotation. For example, all new childcare staff must work at least 1 day shift, 1 evening shift and 1 night shift as training.
