Why TQN Personnel
Centres across NSW face constant pressure to keep rosters full and ratios compliant, but a rushed hire can hurt children, families and team morale. We interview for warmth, judgement and professionalism as well as qualifications, and we ask referees how candidates handle behaviour, communication with families and a busy room. We also cover regional services as well as metropolitan ones, so a centre outside Sydney is not an afterthought. Permanent placements carry our 90-day guarantee.

Early learning recruitment demand in NSW
Long day care centres, preschools and out of school hours services across NSW are always looking for qualified educators, and teachers and directors are the hardest roles to fill. Demand is strong in growing suburbs and regional towns alike. Providers also hire casual and relief staff to cover leave and keep ratios compliant, which makes a reliable recruitment partner valuable throughout the year.
Recruitment licensing & compliance
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements are covered under our interstate labour hire licences, Fair Work and workers compensation.
FAQs
What do you check before placing an early learning educator in NSW?
We confirm the Working With Children Check, qualifications, first aid and child protection training, right to work and references from recent centre leaders. Any gaps are flagged to you before an interview.
Can you recruit early childhood teachers and centre directors?
Yes. We recruit teachers, room leaders, deputy directors and directors as well as educators. Senior searches involve deeper reference checks and questions about leadership, compliance and family communication.
Do you recruit for regional NSW as well as Sydney?
Yes. We recruit for early learning services across New South Wales, including regional towns. Tell us the location and we will talk through availability, relocation interest and the best way to attract candidates.
How fast can you fill an early learning vacancy?
Expect a vetted shortlist within 7 days. Timing can stretch if a candidate still needs to finish a check, so we prioritise people who already hold current clearances.
What if a permanent educator does not work out?
If a permanent hire leaves or underperforms within 90 days, we find a replacement at no extra fee. That guarantee is why we invest in careful reference checks and a good fit.
