In Taupo, community matters – and so does the role of a great teacher.

At BestStart, we're looking for NZ-registered teachers (ECE or Primary) who want to bring their skills and passion to our Reliever Team.

This isn't just about filling gaps – it's about joining a whanau that values connection, care, and the positive impact we can make together.

Why This Role is Different : Strong community ties : Work across five welcoming centres, each with their own whanau feel.

Relationships first : Build lasting connections with tamariki, families, and teaching teams.

A role that fits you : Choose when you're available while still being part of a supportive local network.

What You'll Do : Relievers in Taupo are trusted partners in our centres.

One day you might be guiding group play, another day supporting daily routines, and always helping tamariki feel secure and inspired.

Your presence matters, and your contribution will be felt.

What You'll Bring : NZ teaching qualification (ECE or Primary, Level 7 or higher) Current NZ Teacher Registration (Provisional or Full) NZQA recognition for overseas qualifications (if applicable) Work eligibility in New Zealand A warm, collaborative, community-minded approach Why Taupo?

Lake views, hot springs, mountain adventures – Taupo has it all.

But beyond the beauty, it's the people that make this place special.

Teaching here means being part of a close-knit community where you can truly belong.

Why BestStart?

We're New Zealand's largest early learning provider, but in Taupo, we're local.

Our Reliever Team is valued, supported, and celebrated as part of our teaching whanau.

Together, we're here to grow great humans – tamariki and teachers alike.
