BestStart Reliever Teacher - Napier
Swap Routine for Freedom – Reliever Teaching in Napier
Imagine starting your day with the sunrise over the Pacific, finishing it with a stroll along Marine Parade, and in between, making a real difference in the lives of tamariki. At BestStart Napier, we’re looking for NZ-registered teachers (ECE or Primary) to join our Reliever Team. This is your chance to shape young minds while enjoying the balance, sunshine, and seaside lifestyle that Napier is famous for.
Why Napier?
Napier isn’t just a place to work – it’s a place to thrive.
- Art Deco charm: A city rich with history, festivals, and culture.
- Seaside living: More sunshine hours and ocean views to enjoy year-round.
- A foodie’s dream: Hawke’s Bay’s vineyards, fresh produce, and weekend markets on your doorstep.
- Lifestyle without compromise: Affordable living, short commutes, and a close-knit community.
About the Role
As a Reliever Teacher, you’ll step into our Napier centres to support teams, inspire tamariki, and bring your creativity to each learning environment. One day may see you leading circle time, another helping tamariki explore through play – no two days will be the same.

- NZ teaching qualification (ECE or Primary, Level 7 or higher)
