We are looking for anUnregistered Teacher to join our team part-time, and support tamariki as they explore, discover and build confidence in our beautiful, spacious environment.
 

About us:
Busy Bees Whitby is a spacious, nature-rich centre where children are treated as taonga and you’re supported to grow alongside them.

It’s a place where your curiosity, energy and developing teaching skills are genuinely valued.

You are a team player who communicates clearly, builds trusting relationships with tamariki and whānau, and is happy to pitch in wherever needed. An interest in Te Ao Māori, healthy lifestyles and outdoor learning will be an advantage.
