• Stunning outdoor spaces, 4 unique learning spaces.
• We are licenced for 83 tamariki. 
• Leadership with Impact!

Located near the town centre and adjacent to cricket and netball courts, Active Explorers Blenheim is much more than an Early Learning Centre - it's a home away from home for the tamariki in our care. With our philosophy grounded in meaningful relationships, everyone becomes part of our whānau. Our beautiful outdoor areas include a veggie garden, inviting tamariki to nurture their connection to Papatūānuku.

We have an opportunity for a dedicated leader who puts people at the heart of everything they do to step into our Centre Manager role. As our new leader, you will exemplify Evolve's values daily:

• Kotahitanga – we are stronger together.
• Manaakitanga – we make everyone feel welcome.
• Mahia te mahi – we thrive on progress.
• Kia manawanui – we see a world of possibilities.

You will partner with our team and families, fostering genuine community engagement while enhancing our program, processes, and pedagogy. Working closely with your Area Manager, you'll relish the opportunity to enhance our curriculum and really make your mark in this area. You’ll provide effective hands-on leadership that empowers and supports team members in achieving their objectives while managing daily operational tasks. 

Our offer to you:

• A wonderful, passionate, close-knit team to work with.
• Competitive salary (we pay above FPP) and a balanced lifestyle. 
• Professional Development and opportunities for growth. 
• Relocation support for those moving with their whānau or an equal sign-on bonus if local.
• A half-day of birthday leave.
• You'll also be joining the Evolve network of talented ECE professionals making a positive impact throughout the Motu!

What we're looking for in you:

• You are ECE Qualified and hold Full Teaching Registration.
• You have demonstrated experience in a Centre Manager role and understand what it takes to run a successful ECE Centre.
• You have a holistic management style, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to build strong relationships.
• You have strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and the capability to effectively manage workload to ensure the best outcomes.
• You have a genuine willingness to grow, develop, and innovate within the centre.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and contribute to a community that values you, we would love to hear from you!
