YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka offers career opportunities in over 80 YMCA Child Care locations

The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka is announcing that they are holding a virtual job fair to hire over 50 Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE) and Assistant Teachers over the next three months.

There are over 80 YMCA child care centres across the communities that they serve, and the demand for quality care and education is increasing.

A key component to early learning is the availability of quality child care.

Studies clearly show that trained and knowledgeable Registered Early Childhood Educators and child care workers are the most important element in quality child care.

The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka is responding to this need by hiring experienced child care providers across Simcoe County, Muskoka and Parry Sound.

“There is a growing need in the community for quality child care and early childhood education,” said Fiona Cascagnette, Vice President, Child Development and Family Support Programs, YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka. “We understand how important it is for parents to trust that their children are in the hands of a team that cares as much as they do in an environment where they can learn, grow and thrive. Our goal is to provide that for even more families.”

The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka will be hiring full time, part time and split shifts to help accommodate busy schedules and to provide a positive work/life balance.

“Supporting our staff to help them accomplish their career aspirations while maintaining their work/life balance is a priority for us,” said Cascagnette. “Whether you’re a new graduate, experienced RECE or retired teacher, we understand that everyone has different needs at different stages in their lives, so we offer a variety of shifts and flexible work hours to address this need.”

As the country’s leading nonprofit organization committed to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibilities, the YMCA offers more than just a job – it offers a career with a future and the chance to make a lasting difference in the community.

The virtual job fair will take place on the following dates:

·         Wednesday, October 14th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

·         Friday, October 16th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
