Caregiver – Casual / Reliever Opportunities


Are you passionate about supporting young children to thrive? Do you enjoy working in a flexible environment where every day is different? We are currently seeking reliable and enthusiastic Caregivers to join our teams across West Auckland, South Auckland, East Auckland, and Waiuku.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children and wants flexible work while making a meaningful difference in early childhood education.


About the Role


As a Caregiver, you will work alongside teaching teams to support the day-to-day running of our centres. This role focuses on helping create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and grow.


You may be working with a range of age groups from infants through to preschoolers, supporting teachers with routines, activities, and supervision.

This is a casual reliever position, meaning you will have the flexibility to work across multiple centres depending on staffing needs. Shifts can vary, making this an ideal role for someone looking for flexibility while gaining valuable experience in the early childhood sector.


Key Responsibilities

  • Helping maintain a safe, clean, and organised learning environment
  • Assisting with daily routines such as mealtimes, sleep times, and play-based activities

  • Working collaboratively with centre teams to ensure smooth day-to-day operations
  • Ensuring children are always supervised and safe


What We’re Looking For

You will ideally have:


  • A genuine interest in supporting children's learning and development
  • Confidence working in a team environment
  • A positive, proactive attitude
  • Strong communication skills
  • Flexibility to work across multiple centres and locations
  • The ability to build positive relationships with children and staff


Requirements


To be considered for this role you must:


  • Have the legal right to work in New Zealand
  • Be comfortable working in a licensed early childhood environment
  • Be able to travel to centres across West Auckland, South Auckland, East Auckland, and Waiuku as required
  • Be willing to undergo a Police Vetting check as required for working with children


Why Join Us?


Working as a caregiver reliever offers a great opportunity to gain experience within early childhood education while maintaining flexibility.


Benefits include:


  • Flexible casual work that fits around your schedule
  • Opportunities to work across a variety of centres and communities
  • Supportive teams and welcoming environments
  • Valuable experience in the early childhood sector
  • The opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young children
