Careers at Pīwakawaka

Join a team that’s passionate, purposeful, and playful.

At Pīwakawaka Early Learning Centre, we believe that a supportive, fun, and inspiring work environment creates the best outcomes for our tamariki—and for our kaiako too. If you’re an early childhood educator who leads with heart, values relationships, and loves seeing children thrive, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Work With Us?

  • 100% Qualified Teaching Team: We’re proud to operate with a fully qualified team who bring a range of experience, creativity and cultural richness to our centre.
  • Above-Ministry Ratios: You’ll have the time and space to do what you love—build strong relationships, support individual learning, and engage meaningfully.
  • Collaborative Culture: We value open communication, mutual respect, and shared leadership. Everyone’s voice matters here.
  • Meaningful Professional Development: Ongoing support for your growth, reflection, and teaching practice.
  • Bicultural & Inclusive Practice: We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and embrace the multicultural makeup of our whānau, kaiako and community.

What We're Looking For

We’re always keen to connect with:

  • Qualified ECE teachers (NZQA Level 7 or higher)
  • Teachers in training who are looking for practical experience in a supportive environment
  • Relievers and casual educators with a passion for early learning
  • Kaiako who bring creativity, warmth, and a strong sense of fun to their practice

If you share our values and are committed to helping tamariki grow into curious, capable, and caring learners, you’ll fit right in.
