Over 2s Qualified Kaiako

Little Universe is brand new, yet to open, independent centre that can cater for up to 68 tamariki in the beautiful Cockle Bay. Although we are a new centre, our team has worked together in different capacities over many years and so we are looking for someone who can complement the team and bring in some fresh, creative ideas. We bring together different personalities and teaching styles in a cohesive and responsive curriculum and beautiful environment, designed to support the dispositions and needs of the tamariki we care for.

The right candidate will be:

• qualified (new graduates and third-year students more than welcome to apply)
• warm and nurturing in personality
• energetic and enthusiastic 
• proactive, reliable and detail oriented 
• learning focused, committed to Te Whariki and able to effectively communicate tamariki learning to parents verbally and via Storypark
• driven to adapt and grow your teaching knowledge and work with a very reflective team
• most importantly, dedication to providing a healthy, centred and positive environment in which to look after the health and wellbeing of our tamariki.

What we offer:

• A day off on your birthday after 1 year of service.
• Full pay parity.
• A collaborative and supportive teaching and management team.
• The autonomy within your team to create an environment tailored to the needs of your tamariki.
• A well-resourced and beautiful new centre.
