Assistant Centre Manager (Certificated) Maraenui

Learning Adventures Maraenui is a purpose-built early childhood centre with beautiful, spacious, and intentionally designed learning environments. Through a play-based, holistic, and nurturing approach, we create an inclusive programme where every tamaiti can thrive.

At Learning Adventures, te ao Māori and te reo Māori are woven through our everyday practice, with whānaungatanga at the heart of our mahi. Our love for our hapori is reflected in our local curriculum, helping our tamariki develop strong connections to their community and sense of belonging.

 

Due to our much-loved Assistant Manager moving on to an exciting new opportunity, we are seeking an Assistant Centre Manager to join our permanent team of eight.

 

This role is ideal for an experienced teacher who sees themselves stepping into a Centre Manager position in the future. Working alongside our Complex Manager, you'll have the opportunity to lead while being supported by an experienced mentor who will work collaboratively alongside you every step of the way.

 

Our centre serves a vibrant and diverse community where meaningful relationships with whānau and external agencies are an important part of our daily work. You'll regularly work alongside community support services, health professionals, and educational partners to advocate for the best outcomes for tamariki and their families.

 

No two days are the same. We're looking for a resilient, adaptable leader who can confidently navigate changing priorities, embrace challenges, and support both their team and community with professionalism, empathy, and a solutions-focused approach.

Most importantly, our tamariki, whānau, and community deserve someone at the front of our waka who will champion their aspirations, build strong relationships, and bring a genuine passion for quality early childhood education, local stories, and community connections.

 

If you're ready to take the next step in your leadership journey and want to make a lasting impact in a centre deeply connected to its community, we'd love to hear from you.
