Casual Relievers - Warkworth

Relievers are a valued part of our team. Whether you’re looking for work/life balance or want to spend your day making a difference in a child’s life, you’ll play a unique role in supporting our Kaiako to provide loving care and education for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

We are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic Reliever to support our teaching team in an early childhood centre working with children from 3mths to 5 years old. We are licensed for 104 children and experience working with young children is highly valued, but just as important is a positive attitude, flexibility, and a genuine love for supporting Tamariki in their learning and play.

This role involves assisting teachers with daily routines, engaging with children in play and learning experiences, and helping to maintain a clean and safe environment. Cleaning duties are part of the role, and applicants should be physically active and comfortable working in a busy early childhood setting.

What We Offer:

• Respectful, friendly environment
• Inclusive, collaborative team
• Variety to work across a range of ages
• Access to online resources and professional development hub
• EAP support (by arrangement)
• Discounted childcare fees (if applicable)

About You:

• Reliable and available, often at short notice
• Experience with children under 5 (preferred)
• Able to work up to 8 hours a day, and during school holidays
• Committed to building strong relationships with children and whānau
• Enthusiastic about creating fun-filled days for Tamariki
• Warm, caring nature
• Confident communicator in English
• NZ residency or NZ work visa is a pre-requisite
• All potential employees are police vet checked

Whether you’re early childhood qualified, an ECE Teacher-in-training, or simply have a heart for children, we’d love to meet you and discuss this on-call relieving position. Our centre operating hours are 7.30am – 5.30pm Monday to Friday.
