Job description

Registered ECE Teacher | Busy Bees Manchester St

Teach in a centre where community is close, children are truly known, and learning is built through play, relationships and real-life experiences. We’re looking for a Registered Teacher to join Busy Bees Manchester Street for 24 hours per week and help tamariki grow in confidence, curiosity and connection.

About us: Busy Bees Manchester Street is a welcoming, close-knit Feilding centre where teachers live locally and whānau feel at home fast. We have separate nursery and preschool spaces, plus shared areas that naturally support tuakana‑teina learning. Our programme is grounded in Te Whāriki and genuine partnership with whānau and community. Learning is hands‑on: tamariki bake, garden, compost and care for living things, building independence, problem solving and early literacy and maths. Sustainability is lived daily, with a worm farm, composting and a local farmer partnership, building on our Enviroschools focus. We’re also working toward the Tohu Manawa Ora | Pā‑Harakeke Healthy Heart Award, with hauora woven through the day. As part of Busy Bees Aotearoa, you’re backed by clear values, strong systems and meaningful PLD, while still enjoying Manchester Street’s community feel.

About you: You are a registered ECE or Primary trained kaiako who brings warmth, energy and reflective thinking to your teaching. You enjoy nature-rich, active environments and know how to turn outdoor exploration into real learning. You are confident planning, assessing and documenting through Te Whāriki and you value tuakana teina, social competence and strong school readiness pathways. You communicate clearly with tamariki, whānau and your team, keep supervision tight and champion inclusive, relationship based practice.

Why you’ll love it here:

• Full Pay Parity
• Discounted childcare
• First aid certification, annual flu vaccination and uniform
• Generous PLD budget where you choose your focus
• Induction, mentoring and ongoing support from Busy Bees Aotearoa
• A centre culture that values relationships, sustainability and real, play based learning

Ready to join a centre with heart? Apply with your CV and cover letter.

Applicants must hold NZ residency or a valid work visa and a full driver licence.

Why Work for Busy Bees?
If you’re passionate about early learning, Busy Bees is the place to be. Although we are part of a global organisation, our company was founded by three families looking for better, more enriching childcare. Three decades later, we still keep the same values at heart.

We know that we couldn’t do what we do without the important people in our teams. We invest in our people and work with them to build career pathways that inspire.
