• Motivation and energy – passionate about working with children and contributing to their learning.
• Initiative – able to take charge when needed and help create a smooth running day.
• Caring, respectful attitude – showing kindness and respect towards children at all times.
• Eligibility to work in New Zealand – you must have the right to work in New Zealand.

Why Choose BestStart?

• Every BestStart centre is unique, reflecting the special qualities and backgrounds of its children, teachers, and communities.
• We are committed to the growth and development of our people, with many of our permanent roles filled from our pool of relievers.
