Love Variety? Join BestStart as a Casual Reliever in Waihi, Katikati & Whangamata!

Looking for a role where every day feels fresh and exciting? BestStart is on the lookout for passionate Casual Relievers to bring their energy, creativity, and love for tamariki into our centres across Waihi, Katikati, and Whangamata.

We’re especially looking for Relievers who are available to pick up shifts regularly across all of our local centres – giving you the opportunity to build strong relationships with tamariki, whānau, and teaching teams while enjoying a variety of experiences.

What’s in it for you?

  • The freedom of flexibility – choose shifts that work for your lifestyle.
  • The chance to explore different centres and learn from a range of passionate teaching teams.
  • Hands-on experience that grows your skills while making a lasting difference in children’s lives.
  • A welcoming, inclusive culture where your enthusiasm and ideas are valued.
     

What You’ll Do

  • Inspire tamariki with fun, engaging activities that spark curiosity and creativity.
  • Support teachers to create warm, safe, and nurturing environments.
  • Be the extra pair of hands, heart, and laughter that helps each centre shine.
  • Adapt and thrive in different learning spaces – no two days will ever be the same!
     

What We’re Looking For

  • A genuine passion for working with tamariki.
  • A positive, can-do attitude (ECE experience is a bonus, but not essential).
  • Reliability and flexibility to support multiple centres.
  • Two references from previous Managers, valid ID, ability to pass Police Vetting, and eligibility to work in NZ.
     

At BestStart, we believe in giving tamariki the very best start – and that means creating opportunities for you to grow and thrive too.

If you’re ready for a rewarding role full of variety, fun, and impact, apply now and join our vibrant teams in Waihi, Katikati, and Whangamata!
