Teacher in Training 3rd Year | Busy Bees New Plymouth

Are you looking for a supportive centre through your studies? Are you looking for a centre you can continue to grow in after you graduate?

We are searching for a motivated individual with a love for working with children to join us as a  3rd Year Student Teacher! Step into the world of hands-on learning and gain invaluable experience contributing to the growth and development of our little learners!

About us:

The natural environment of Busy Bees New Plymouth allows children to spontaneously connect with Papatūānku right here in our own outdoor space. Tamariki take on the role of Kaitiakitanga, through this they learn various concepts like garden to table and sustainability. Connecting with nature is a favourite activity among our children at Busy Bees New Plymouth and therefore our outdoor play areas are open the whole day for children to run, jump, hide, create, and have fun!

We celebrate whakawhanaungatanga (relationships) by connecting with our community through multicultural celebrations and creating a strong sense of belonging. Some of our community relationships include weekly Playball sessions and fortnightly Kapa haka with Whaea Rae. We also have the local library bus visit the centre fortnightly and often spend time at Chalmers Rest Home which the children and residents love. We are fortunate to be able to use our local walkway and park whenever possible.

About you:

Previous experience in an ECE environment would be a definite advantage although candidates who are great at communicating, friendly, approachable and who are passionate about nurturing and caring for the needs of our tamariki should also consider applying.  You will be supporting a professional team of teachers in a fun, positive and rewarding environment. You must be in your final year of studying an ECE Level 7 degree.

• Generous Study Incentive Programme for Teachers in Training
