Reliever (Certificated) Active Explorers Swanson

Manaakitanga. Whanaungatanga. Aroha for Teaching.

Nau mai, haere mai!

Located on Swanson Road, close to parks and amenities, our centre is right in the heart of a thriving community. With a bus stop nearby, it’s an easy commute for kaiako and whānau alike.

We are a vibrant, fast-growing centre where our tamariki are busy exploring, creating, building confidence, and developing their mana every single day. Our kaiako begin and end each day together — connecting as a team — before moving into our learning spaces after morning kai.

Our large outdoor playground is packed with opportunities for adventure, risk-taking, imagination and joy. Whether it’s climbing, constructing, messy play or quiet moments of discovery, our tamariki are encouraged to follow their interests and strengthen their wairua.

We are proud of our strong, intentional curriculum. We work closely with our education team to ensure learning is visible, meaningful and inspiring. Our programme is thoughtful, engaging and designed to support confident, capable learners.

We are looking for a certificated reliever to join our team and support our centre with flexibility, energy, and a love for working alongside tamariki as needed.

Our offer to you:

• A warm, tight-knit team who genuinely support one another.
• A multicultural environment that celebrates diversity and identity.
• A workplace where kindness (manaakitanga) is non-negotiable.
• Excursions to local parks and adventures beyond the gate.
• A spacious, well-resourced environment to bring your ideas to life.
• Opportunity to join the Evolve network of ECE professionals.
• Half -day Birthday leave.

What we’re looking for in you:

• You are ECE Qualified and hold Current or Provisional Teaching Registration.
• You are committed to quality education and professional growth.
• You can teach children in a positive, nurturing way.
• Strong, warm daily communication with whānau.
• A true team player — whanaungatanga is everything here.

At Active Explorers Swanson, we value respectful, genuine relationships with our whānau. Daily conversations about learning are part of who we are — we want families to feel informed, connected and proud of their child’s progress.

If you are ready to join a centre where collaboration matters, laughter is welcomed, and tamariki thrive, tono mai — apply now and become part of our whānau!
