Fixed-Term Kaiako (Non-Certificated) Te Puke

Join Our Whānau at Learning Adventures Te Puke!

As our wonderful Kaiako heads off on her maternity leave, we're looking for a Non-Certificated Kaiako to join our team in a fixed-term maternity leave cover. While you'll be supporting tamariki across all age groups, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a well-established teaching team, working 30 hours per week.

Why You’ll Love Being Here

• A well‑resourced centre in a fantastic location
• Discounted childcare for your own tamariki
• Onsite parking (because mornings are busy enough!)

Who We Are

At Learning Adventures Te Puke, we’re all about nurturing, supporting, and celebrating every child’s unique journey. Our spacious, eco-friendly environment encourages tamariki to explore, discover, and learn through play and connection with the natural world.

Our whānau is wonderfully diverse, and we love sharing that richness through celebrations like Matariki, Diwali, and other cultural events that bring our community together. Our teaching team is experienced, long‑standing, and genuinely passionate about lifting each other up. Strong relationships—with each other, with whānau, and with our local schools—are at the heart of everything we do.

What You’ll Be Doing

You'll work alongside a supportive teaching team, providing meaningful learning experiences for tamariki across all age groups. You'll create a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to develop at their own pace. Building strong relationships with children, whānau, and your colleagues will be an important part of your role as you help foster a positive and nurturing learning community.

What We Offer

• A warm, collaborative team
• A centre full of resources to fuel your creativity
• Access to the Evolve network of ECE professionals
• A half‑day of birthday leave

What We’re Looking For

• A commitment to quality practice and ongoing growth
• A nurturing, positive teaching style
• Someone who enjoys working collaboratively and building meaningful relationships with tamariki, whānau, and the wider team

If this sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you. Submit your confidential application and let’s explore this journey together—nau mai, haere mai.
