Reliever (Certificated) Herne Bay

• Handy to shops, cafes, schools, public transport and other amenities.
• Beautiful centre in a fantastic location.
• Great team to work with – we are here to support you!

Tucked into a vibrant local hub, this unique early learning centre is a spacious, welcoming environment where Tamariki can explore, play, and grow with confidence. With a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and expansive learning spaces, our centre offers plenty of room for curious minds to thrive and imaginations to run wild.

Our days are filled with adventure — from visits to local schools, supermarkets, and the library, to meaningful connections within our community. It’s a place where learning extends beyond the centre walls and into the world around us.

Our diverse, inclusive team brings energy, warmth, and strong whanaungatanga to everything we do. Guided by values of respect, kindness, and open communication, we’ve built a culture where Kaiako support one another, celebrate individuality, and work together as one. Families are a big part of our journey too, creating a truly special, community-focused environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a certificated relieving Kaiako who loves working with toddlers and is ready to embrace a role full of variety, connection, and purpose. If you’re flexible, passionate, and thrive in a team that values collaboration and growth — nau mai, haere mai!
