We are looking for a teacher in training or unregistered teacher with a huge passion for early childhood who wants to work in a fun-loving team and make a difference in children's lives.
About us:
We value the strong community connections that make our Buller Street centre unique. Joining the Busy Bees Aotearoa whānau gives you the professional stability of a national network within a local team that really knows and loves our community. Our mahi is deeply rooted in our community, from fortnightly kapa haka with Whaea Rae to visits from the library bus and spending time with our friends at Chalmers Rest Home. We take pride in our professional standards and our commitment to fostering curious, capable tamariki. Whether facilitating discovery in our natural outdoor spaces or supporting pathways to kura, you will be part of a supportive, connected team that truly cares for our community.

Bringing the curriculum to life through daily experimentation, play, and innovation.
Providing high-quality, nurturing care so our tamariki feel safe, warm, and loved.
Creating a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where every child's holistic needs are met.
Building strong, positive relationships with our learners and their whānau.
Capturing the magic of each child's journey to share with their families.
About You:
A warm, approachable nature that makes our whānau and tamariki feel truly at home.
Plenty of initiative and a proactive "can-do" spirit to keep our daily flow moving.
Great communication skills to build quick rapport with everyone in our community.
A heart for following a child’s lead and a genuine drive to grow your own skills.
Real integrity and warmth in every interaction with our team and families.

Regular professional development to fuel your passion and career growth.
The backing of a national network that empowers you to reach your full potential.
Discounted childcare for your own family along with staff uniforms.

Why Work for Busy Bees?
If you’re passionate about early learning, Busy Bees is the place to be. Although we are part of a global organisation, our company was founded by three families looking for better, more enriching childcare. Three decades later, we still keep the same values at heart.
We know that we couldn’t do what we do without the important people in our teams. We invest in our people and work with them to build career pathways that inspire.
