• Full Pay Parity Scheme.
• Fortnightly paid staff meetings (2 hours).
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
• A supportive, welcoming team and beautiful rural setting.
• Flexible working arrangements and job-share opportunities considered for the right applicants.

We're looking for someone who:

• Holds a recognised ECE qualification and current Teaching Council Practising Certificate.
• Has a genuine passion for working with infants and toddlers.
• Understands the importance of responsive, respectful and nurturing caregiving.
• Has a strong understanding of Te Whāriki and age-appropriate, play-based learning.
• Values building secure attachments and meaningful relationships with tamariki, whānau and colleagues.
