Unregistered ECE Teacher | Bees Douglas

Unregistered ECE Teacher | Busy Bees Douglas Street

Are you someone who brings warmth, steadiness and genuine care into every moment with tamariki? We are looking for an unregistered kaiako to join Busy Bees Douglas Street and support rich, meaningful learning across our classrooms and Montessori inspired spaces.

Busy Bees Douglas Street is well established in the Whakatāne community, with strong relationships with families and local support services so we can wrap care around our whānau when needed. Our centre has six classrooms for tamariki aged 0 to 6, each with its own character and rhythm. Two Montessori inspired classrooms offer both structure and freedom, supporting children to explore their interests at their own pace.

As part of the Busy Bees Aotearoa whānau, and working closely with our sister centre at McGarvey Road, our mahi is guided by our core values of Whānau, Respect, Adventure and Passion.

You may be early in your ECE journey or bringing experience from other roles with children, but what really stands out is your calm presence and genuine love for tamariki. Clear communication, a caring nature and the ability to follow routines with confidence help you contribute strongly to the team. Building warm, trusting relationships with children, colleagues and whānau comes naturally to you, and you enjoy working alongside kaiako to create safe, engaging environments.

Enthusiasm, reliability and a willingness to learn will help you thrive in our busy, community focused centre.

• Supportive and friendly team culture
• Discounted childcare
• Annual flu vaccines and staff uniforms
• Opportunities to learn and grow your skills in ECE
• Comprehensive induction, mentoring and coaching

If this sounds like the next step in your ECE journey, we would love to hear from you. Please apply now with your CV and cover letter.

Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
