Swap Routine for Freedom – Reliever Teaching in Napier
Imagine starting your day with the sunrise over the Pacific, finishing it with a stroll along Marine Parade, and in between, making a real difference in the lives of tamariki. At BestStart Napier, we're looking for NZ-registered teachers (ECE or Primary) to join our Reliever Team. This is your chance to shape young minds while enjoying the balance, sunshine, and seaside lifestyle that Napier is famous for.
Why Napier? Napier isn't just a place to work – it's a place to thrive.
- Art Deco charm: A city rich with history, festivals, and culture.
- Seaside living: More sunshine hours and ocean views to enjoy year-round.
- A foodie's dream: Hawke's Bay's vineyards, fresh produce, and weekend markets on your doorstep.
- Lifestyle without compromise: Affordable living, short commutes, and a close-knit community.
About the Role As a Reliever Teacher, you'll step into our Napier centres to support teams, inspire tamariki, and bring your creativity to each learning environment. One day may see you leading circle time, another helping tamariki explore through play – no two days will be the same. With the flexibility to choose when you work, you'll enjoy variety while being part of our BestStart whānau.
What You'll Need:
- NZ teaching qualification (ECE or Primary, Level 7 or higher)
- Current NZ Teacher Registration (Provisional or Full)
- NZQA recognition for overseas qualifications (if applicable)
- Eligibility to work in New Zealand
- A flexible, positive approach and genuine love for tamariki
Why BestStart? As New Zealand's largest early learning provider, we know our strength lies in our people. Our relievers are valued, supported, and given the flexibility to design a schedule that works for them. You'll be more than “just a reliever” – you'll be a trusted part of our teaching whānau.
Take the Leap If you're ready for a role that blends meaningful teaching with an unbeatable coastal lifestyle, Napier could be the fresh start you're looking for. Apply now to join our BestStart Napier Reliever Team.
Please note that you will need current NZ teaching registration to apply for this role.
