Are you a proactive and caring individual looking to make a meaningful impact in a nature-rich learning environment? We are looking for a passionate Unregistered Kaiako to join our team at Busy Bees Gladstone Road. If you bring a genuine heart for the early years and a desire to be part of a team that values sustainability and connection to the land, this is the perfect place to grow your career.
About us:
At Busy Bees Gladstone Road, we are dedicated to growing the future kaitiaki of Turanga-nui a Kiwa. We believe the environment is a child’s third teacher and we provide a nature-rich setting where sustainability and kaitiakitanga are at the heart of our daily practice. As a newly recognised Enviroschool, our centre prides itself on our well-established māra kai and tuākana-tēina learning spaces, fostering a deep connection to Papatūānuku for our tamariki and whānau. This local commitment is strengthened by our connection to the Busy Bees Aotearoa whānau. Being part of this wider network means we are backed by global expertise and a national commitment to high-quality education, allowing us to provide our team with extensive professional development, superior standards of care, and the resources to truly excel in our mahi.
About you:
You are someone who brings a proactive "can-do" spirit and a genuine heart for the early years. Whether you are a beginning teacher just starting out, currently studying, or bringing a wealth of life experience from another sector, we value the integrity and warmth you bring to our team. We are looking for a team member who communicates with warmth and clarity, values the power of Whanaungatanga, and isn't afraid to get stuck in to follow a child’s lead. You take pride in maintaining a safe, inclusive, and beautiful environment where learning unfolds naturally and every person is respected as a unique taonga.

Teacher in Training Support: We provide a generous programme, mentoring, and coaching for those on their journey toward an ECE qualification.
Discounted Childcare: Support for your own whānau to be part of the Busy Bees community.
