Caregiver (BestStart Papamoa Plaza)
Start Here. Grow Here.
At BestStart Papamoa Plaza, we believe every child has the potential to make a difference. We nurture our tamariki to become confident kaitiaki (guardians) of their environment through genuine Manaakitanga and meaningful relationships.
We encourage children’s natural curiosity and connection with the world around them by taking learning beyond the classroom and embracing the outdoors. Through hands-on, nature-based experiences, we support children to explore, discover and develop across all areas of their learning.
Your Role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and caring ECE Caregiver to join our team in a permanent, full-time position (40 hours per week).
You’ll play an important role in creating a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment where our tamariki can learn, explore and thrive, while being part of a supportive and welcoming team.
What You’ll Do
- Provide nurturing care and engaging learning experiences that celebrate every child’s individuality and potential.
- Plan and participate in fun, hands-on activities that inspire curiosity, creativity and a love of learning.
- Support your colleagues and contribute to the smooth day-to-day running of the centre.
- Help create a positive, inclusive and vibrant environment where children, whānau and team members feel valued and welcome.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience working with children under five is preferred; an ECE qualification is not essential.
- A genuine passion for working with young children and supporting their learning and development.
- A positive, enthusiastic and team-oriented approach.
- A willingness to learn, grow and contribute to a caring, values-driven environment.
- Someone who shares our commitment to creating meaningful experiences for tamariki.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
- Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities through Whare Ako.
- Opportunities for career growth and progression across our nationwide network.
- $2,000 referral bonus when you recommend qualified teachers.*
- Subsidised health insurance (eligibility criteria apply).
- Discounted childcare for your whānau.
