Teacher-in-Training (BestStart Halswell Road)
BestStart Halswell Road is looking for a passionate and dedicated Teacher in Training to join our warm, supportive, and community-focused team.
At our centre, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We build strong, meaningful connections with tamariki and whānau, supporting their aspirations for learning and growth.

We’re ideally located on the main road into Halswell, just a short stroll from the Halswell Domain, perfect for spontaneous outings that tamariki love.
