BestStart is on the hunt for enthusiastic Casual Relievers to join our warm and welcoming centres right here in Palmerston North and Whanganui. This is your chance to step into a role where no two days are the same, tamariki light up your world, and you get to grow your skills in a supportive, creative environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Sparking curiosity and inspiring tamariki through play, learning, and laughter.
  • Jumping in alongside passionate teachers to support each child’s journey of discovery.

  • Relievers who are available to pick up shifts regularly across all Palmerstone North centres (and / Or Whanganui)
  • A positive, can-do attitude – experience in ECE is great, but what really matters is your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
  • Flexibility to work across our Palmerston North and or Whanganui centres – gaining a variety of experiences and insights along the way.
  • Two references from previous Managers, valid ID, ability to pass Police Vetting, and eligibility to work in NZ.
