Prebbleton Nursery Team Leader - Christchurch
Do you consider yourself a lifelong learner?
Are you confident in leading a team through planning, assessment, and internal evaluation?
Can you mentor and support your teaching colleagues with positivity and professionalism?
If so, we’d love to meet you!
Prebbleton Nursery is seeking a certificated ECE teacher to join our passionate team as our Team Leader in our Infant Room (3–20 months). This is a permanent role for approximately 34 hours per week.
We pride ourselves on our low ratios (1:3/4 in the Infant Room, 1:5 in the Toddler Room), allowing us to provide the responsive, respectful care that our tamariki deserve. As a family-owned centre with 25 years of service in the Prebbleton community, we live by our motto: “The next best place to home.”
Our environments have a natural home like feel and our pet guinea pigs are an important part of our curriculum. We are inspired by the RIE/Pikler philosophy, and we’re looking for someone who shares that same respectful and relational approach to early childhood education.
What's on Offer?- A paid day off for your birthday after 12 months of service
- A uniform to help you feel part of the team.
- Childcare discounts if you have children who would attend our service.
- Ongoing professional development opportunities.
- Give you a direct support network with regular meetings with Mel the centre manager (qualified teacher) and also with Cinny - your fellow team lead who is in our Toddler Room.
- Generous administration time to get your job responsibilities completed.
- Flexibility around leave.
- And most importantly—a fun and caring team environment!
- Be a confident, positive communicator who works well in a team.
- Have a good sense of humour and enjoy a good laugh!
- Be able to lead planning, assessment and internal evaluation.
- Be familiar with or eager to learn more about the RIE/Pikler approach to child development
- Be reliable and flexible to work a range of hours as required.
