ECE Registered Teacher | Busy Bees Pukekohe

Do you want to teach in a centre where relationships are genuine, learning is hands-on, and every age group has a space that truly supports them? We are looking for a Registered Teacher to join Busy Bees Pukekohe and help tamariki grow as confident, curious learners in our nurturing, community-focused centre.
 

About us

Busy Bees Pukekohe is a welcoming, well-resourced centre with three age-based rooms and a teaching team who value whanaungatanga, consistency and meaningful connection. Pukeko Nursery is warm and relational, with kaiako working closely with whānau to honour each pēpi. Tui supports emerging independence through spaces designed for curiosity, challenge and social learning, while Kiwi, our preschool room, encourages tamariki to share ideas, follow their interests and build confidence through active exploration, group times and project work. Outdoors, Tui and Kiwi share a lively, natural space with room to move, question and experiment. Teaching is grounded in Te Whāriki, supported by strong community relationships and Nourish meals prepared onsite to keep tamariki fuelled. Our transition to school programme is woven through play, and as part of Busy Bees Aotearoa you join a nationwide whānau that centres Ako, Kotahitanga, Manaakitanga and Whanaungatanga in daily practice.
 

About you:

You hold an ECE or Primary qualification with current NZ teacher registration. You bring warmth, clarity and steady energy to your teaching, and you love building strong relationships with tamariki and whānau. You are confident planning, assessing and responding to children’s interests, and enjoy working collaboratively in a team that values creativity, communication and care.
 

Why you’ll love it here:

• Full Pay Parity!

• Discounted childcare

• First aid certification, annual flu vaccines and staff uniforms

• A generous PLD budget where you can choose PLD for your own learning.

• Comprehensive induction, mentoring and coaching and ongoing opportunities for career growth and personal and professional development

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

Applicants must have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
