BestStart Rongotai is seeking a passionate, organised, and friendly Centre Administrator to join our energetic and close-knit team.
At BestStart Rongotai, we believe every child has unique potential that deserves to be nurtured and celebrated. Guided by our values of kindness, resilience, and belonging, we create meaningful learning experiences and strong relationships with tamariki, whānau, and our wider community.
Our centre is well connected to the local community through regular visits to the library and aged care facility, strong relationships with local schools, and participation in their Garden to Table programme.
