Qualified Teacher

The role

We are looking for a qualified teacher to join us in a part-time planning cover position for a fixed term maternity cover from January- July 2027. We offer each of our room teams 3 hours dedicated group planning per week. Our planning cover team work across all age groups during this time allowing each team the capacity to plan enriching, individualised learning opportunities for our children.  

At Bear Park Remuera, from our spacious outdoor areas to our central piazza, we’ve created an environment that is natural, transparent and inspiring for all. We focus on the many expressive languages that children use and develop throughout their early years, with our performing arts room and central and classroom ateliers encouraging children to engage in the art of dance, drama, music, art and more.

This is a wonderful opportunity to work 2 days per week across all age groups in the centre. 

Bear Park proudly holds a deep sense of connection with its children, their families and the wider surrounding community and follows a strong Reggio Emilia philosophy.
