Who We’re Looking For

  • Valid ID and the ability to pass Police Vetting
     
  • Eligibility to work in New Zealand
     
  • A positive, adaptable approach and a genuine love for working with children
     

We’re especially looking for Relievers who can support across multiple centres in the area—giving you the opportunity to build strong relationships with teams and tamariki while keeping each day fresh and varied.

Oraha and Kumeū offer the best of both worlds—coastal beauty, growing communities, local markets, wineries, and easy access to Auckland City. Whether you’re seeking flexible hours to fit around study, family, or other commitments, or wanting practical experience in early childhood education, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved locally.
