We have a wonderful opportunity for a passionate, Certificated Kaiako to join our nurturing team at Active Explorers Glenfield Rimu on a 12-month fixed term, full-time basis (40 hours per week). This role will primarily see you in our toddler’s space, with the chance to support in our infant area as needed.

Our centre is warm, welcoming, and purposefully designed with three unique learning spaces that reflect the different ages and stages of our tamariki. You'll be surrounded by a team of experienced, registered teachers who are deeply committed to fostering a love of learning and supporting each child to thrive.

In this role, you’ll have a real opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our tamariki. You’ll be supported every step of the way by our Centre Manager, who is passionate about mentoring and championing the growth of her team. Together with your new colleagues, you'll be part of a collaborative environment where everyone is valued – and where the strength of our relationships shines through in everything we do.

At Glenfield Rimu, relationships are at the heart of our philosophy. When a family joins us, we embrace them as part of our wider whānau.

You’ll bring a positive attitude, a warm heart, and a willingness to grow, and we’ll support you on your journey.

Our offer to you:

• A warm, welcoming team who will value your ideas and contributions.
• A thoughtfully resourced centre that empowers your creativity and supports meaningful learning experiences.
• Encouragement and guidance from a supportive Centre Manager who’s committed to your professional growth and success.
• The opportunity to be part of the wider Evolve whānau – a nationwide network of passionate ECE professionals.
• A special half-day of birthday leave – because you deserve to celebrate you!
• Generous non-contact time to plan, document, and reflect – giving you the space to do your best work with tamariki at the heart of what you do.

What we're looking for in you:

• You hold an ECE qualification and a current Full or Provisional Teaching Registration.
• You bring a strong understanding of ECE regulations and Te Whāriki and know how to bring them to life in your teaching.
• You have hands-on teaching experience and a genuine passion for learning and growing as a professional.
• You’re warm, reliable, and bring positive energy to the team - you love being part of a supportive, collaborative environment.
