BestStart Beckenham is seeking a passionate and dedicated Teacher in Training to join our energetic and supportive team. Our focus is on providing quality education and fostering a nurturing environment for the children in our community.
Our Centre Philosophy centers on building strong relationships and working collaboratively to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn and grow at their own pace. Conveniently located right outside the Number 1 bus stop (connecting Cashmere to Rangiora), we are also just 800 meters from Christchurch South Library, which we visit regularly. Additionally, we are situated 500 meters from both the Christchurch Police Station and Archer Village, both of which we engage with as part of our community connections.

If you have a passion for teaching young children and are currently enrolled in a Level 7 ECE programme (Bachelor of Early Childhood Education or Graduate Diploma), we want to hear from you!
This is a permanent position working 35 hours per week, Monday-Friday, based in our Nursery (Under 2s), with occasional opportunities to support our preschool room. We are looking for a Teacher in Training who has a sound understanding of infant and toddler development and is eager to work collaboratively with a team of four other teachers. Our Nursery caters to 16-19 infants and babies each day, creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
The successful candidate will have a passion for planning and implementing the 16 areas of play while incorporating the fundamentals of Te Whāriki into daily activities.
