Fixed Term Kaiako (Non-Certificated) Glenfield Rimu

Right in the heart of Glenfield, our centre is a vibrant little community filled with laughter, learning, and lots of aroha! With two centres side by side and a big presence in the local community, we’re proud to be a place where tamariki, whānau, and Kaiako feel genuinely connected, supported, and right at home from the moment they walk through our doors.

Our under 2s space is a warm, nurturing haven where cuddles, connection, and meaningful relationships are at the heart of every day. We know how important those early years are—especially for first-time parents—so we go above and beyond to create a calm, welcoming space where both babies and whānau feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.

Our centre is full of energy, colour, and culture, with a wonderfully diverse community of families and Kaiako. We love celebrating different cultures, languages, and experiences within our learning spaces. Whanaungatanga is a huge part of who we are, and our relationships with families are something we are incredibly proud of.

Step into our centre and you'll find spacious learning environments, a big outdoor playground ready for daily adventures, and even a magical indoor treehouse space where stories, songs, and mat times come to life! Our days are busy, fun, and filled with opportunities for tamariki to explore, discover, and grow alongside caring Kaiako who truly love what they do.

We are looking for a Fixed-Term Non-Certificated Kaiako to join our supportive under 2s team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about early childhood education and enjoys creating nurturing, responsive environments for infants and toddlers. You'll work alongside experienced Kaiako, supporting children's learning and wellbeing while building meaningful relationships with whānau.

Our offer to you:

• Fixed-term, part-time role (20 hours per week)
• A fun, supportive team that truly feels like whānau.
• A centre full of laughter, learning adventures, and meaningful connections.
• Beautiful learning spaces and plenty of resources to bring your creativity to life.
• Ongoing professional learning and development opportunities.
• A respectful leadership team who values your contribution.
• Half-day birthday leave because celebrations are important too!

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience working in an early childhood setting, particularly with infants and toddlers.
• A nurturing, calm, and confident approach in a busy environment.
• Strong communication skills and a passion for building relationships with tamariki and whānau.
• A proactive, positive attitude and willingness to work collaboratively as part of a team.
• A genuine love for creating meaningful learning experiences every day.

If you're a caring and enthusiastic Kaiako looking for a fixed-term opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our youngest learners, we'd love to hear from you!
