Are you a newly graduated ECE teacher ready to begin your teaching journey in a supportive, fun and welcoming team? We would love to meet you! At BestStart Greenwood, we are an established, friendly team who genuinely enjoy working together. We value laughter in our day, strong relationships, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where tamariki thrive.

Located on Greenwood Street in an industrial area, our centre supports access for tamariki with three centre vans that transport children to and from the service, helping make early learning accessible for our community.

We are proud of our inclusive, multicultural environment — our team speaks Te Reo Maori, Hindi, Mandarin and Fijian, and we are deeply committed to bicultural practice and honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi in meaningful ways.

Why this role is perfect for a new graduate:

  • Supportive, experienced teachers who love mentoring
  • A collaborative team environment where your voice matters
  • Strong bicultural focus to grow your confidence in practice
  • Ongoing professional development through BestStart
We are looking for a qualified and registered teacher who
  • Has recently graduated (or is about to!)
  • Is passionate about building strong relationships with tamariki and whanau
  • Is eager to learn, grow, and develop their teaching practice
  • Brings positivity, enthusiasm, and a team-focused mindset

Why BestStart?

We are committed to being a progressive and adaptable leader in the ECE sector, recognising and valuing the positive difference our team makes in children's lives. Our benefits include:

  • National Support Team and comprehensive induction
  • Learning through our Whare Ako online platform
  • Career development and mentoring support
  • $2000 referral bonus for qualified teacher referrals*
  • Childcare discount & Subsidised Healtcare insurance
