We only have one centre here in Kaikohe – which means you’ll quickly become part of our close-knit whānau. You won’t just be picking up shifts, you’ll be helping create a home away from home for our tamariki and building strong relationships with staff, whānau, and the wider community.

- Jump in with energy, ideas, and aroha to keep the day running smoothly
- Enjoy the variety—every day brings something new, and no two are ever the same
Who we’re looking for:
- Someone with a passion for working with children and supporting whānau
- Reliable, flexible, and full of initiative
- Caring, fun-loving, and ready to get stuck in
- No formal ECE qualifications needed – just your enthusiasm and heart
- Has clean police vetting and 2x workplace references

So if you’ve been looking for a role where your work truly matters, where you’ll feel valued, and where you’ll leave each day knowing you’ve made a difference—this is it.
