BestStart Reliever Teacher - Rotorua
Bring Your Passion for Teaching to BestStart in Rotorua – Flexible Reliever Opportunities
Do you love the idea of teaching without being tied to the same routine every day? Are you a NZ-registered teacher (ECE or Primary) looking for flexibility while still making a meaningful impact? BestStart is looking for enthusiastic Reliever Teachers to join our team and bring fresh energy to our centres in Rotorua.
Why This Role?
Relief teaching isn’t just filling in – it’s about stepping into different classrooms, sparking curiosity, and supporting tamariki as they learn and grow. Every day brings something new, giving you the chance to expand your experience while enjoying a work-life balance that suits you.
What You’ll Do:
- Adapt quickly to different centres and teaching environments.
- Bring creativity and initiative to support engaging learning experiences.
- Build positive connections with tamariki, whānau, and teaching teams.
- Contribute your skills and passion to help children thrive.
What You’ll Bring:
- A recognised NZ teaching qualification (ECE or Primary, Level 7 or higher)
- Current NZ Teacher Registration (Provisional or Full)
- NZQA recognition for overseas qualifications (if applicable)
- Valid eligibility to work in New Zealand
- A flexible, can-do attitude and a genuine love for working with children
We’re especially looking for Relievers who are available to pick up shifts regularly across all of our Rotorua centres – giving you the opportunity to build strong relationships while keeping each day fresh and different.
Why Rotorua?
Living and working in Rotorua means being surrounded by stunning landscapes, from geothermal wonders and sparkling lakes to the towering Redwoods. It’s a place where culture, community, and adventure come together – making it the perfect backdrop for a rewarding teaching role.
Why BestStart?
We’re New Zealand’s largest early learning provider, but what really matters to us is people. Our relievers are valued as part of our teaching whānau, supported every step of the way, and given the freedom to find balance while still shaping the future for tamariki.
