We are looking for an Assistant Teacher who will add their energy and enthusiasm to our existing team.  The position does not require any formal teaching qualification, but previous experience working with preschool children will be a big advantage. 

 Our Assistant Teachers work closely with tamariki, assist the Teachers with the learning programme, build positive working relationships with whānau, prepare resources and complete some housekeeping duties. 

 The day is spent engaging with children, so you won't be doing any paperwork or assessments. This is a stimulating role where there is constant interaction with tamariki, staff and whānau.  

 To be successful at Nettie Riley, you will need:

• the willingness to learn and develop your natural ability to engage with children

• to be available to work between 7.30am and 5pm if required

• to have passion for supporting our tamariki and whānau

• lots of empathy, tolerance and patience

• to be a flexible team player, with a "can do" attitude and a proactive mindset

• a great sense of humour!

 Working at Nettie Riley Kindergarten will allow you to:

• take most of your 4 weeks’ annual leave at times that suit you

• experience regular high-quality professional development opportunities

• enjoy free, all-day off-street parking

• be part of a team of professionals focused on providing the best learning outcomes for tamariki.
