Job Description

Join Our Passionate Team and Make a Difference

At BestStart, we are proud to be leaders in the early childhood education sector. We provide high-quality early learning experiences and award-winning childcare for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. BestStart Pinnacles is looking for a warm, dedicated Caregiver to join our energetic and close-knit team.

Why Choose BestStart?

We are committed to being a progressive and adaptable leader in ECE, where our team is valued and recognised for the impact they make in children's lives.

  • Professional Development: Access to Whare Ako, our online learning platform, and career progression support
  • Discounted Childcare: Support for those balancing work and family
  • Health and Wellbeing: Free annual flu vaccinations and a dedicated wellbeing programme
  • Immediate Sick Leave: Available from your first day


About the Role

As a Caregiver at BestStart Pinnacles, you will play a key role in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can learn and grow. Our focus is on fostering a love for learning, creativity, and exploration in our tamariki. You will be based in our Nursery, working alongside our under 2 year old tamariki.

You will work 25 hours per week, Monday to Friday reporting to the Centre Manager and collaborating with a passionate team of educators. There is the potential for the hours to increase as our occupancy grows.

What You Will Do

  • Provide high-quality care and education to our tamariki
  • Foster a positive and engaging environment that encourages learning and development
  • Support daily routines, activities, and centre-wide initiatives
  • Work collaboratively with teachers across all classrooms and assist with staff breaks
  • Contribute to the overall operations of the centre


What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a compassionate and energetic individual who is committed to making a positive impact on young learners.
