Bear Park Hobsonville Point Auckland

Teacher-in-training

The role:

Inside the historic Mill House in Hobsonville Point lives Bear Park Hobsonville. This beautiful waterfront property, with amazing sea views and an acre of park-like grounds, has been re-designed as a purpose-built facility to serve the growing number of families in the area. With a brand-new, award-winning infants and toddlers space, this truly is a centre you have to see to believe!

We are searching for a teacher-in-training or unqualified teacher to join us in our Fantails room (3 months - 16 months). This is a part-time position (8.30am-3.30pm) and would suit a student or someone wanting work/life balance. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow your teaching skillset within a supportive team.

Alongside great ratios (1:3) and an incredible environment, we provide 3 hours of collaborative programme planning time every week, to allow our teaching teams to reflect, plan and support each other as a team. This is done during work hours, to allow your personal time to remain your own.
