Part time, Permanent, FTTE up to: 0.4
We are looking for an enthusiastic and flexible person to manage our established kindergarten, lead our committed teaching team, and engage with our community and Steiner/Waldorf centres in the greater Wellington Region.
This is a permanent part-time role of 16 hours per week with some flexibility as to when these hours will be worked.
The kindergarten is a community-based, non-profit ECE centre which follows Rudolf Steiner pedagogical principles. It operates for 44 teaching weeks of the year, with sessions closed for one of the two weeks during each school term holiday break, and for 5 weeks over the December/January holiday period. Our licence is for 20 children and we are governed by a Trust Board made up of past and present parents.
We focus on nurturing and protecting childhood through creating a rhythmic, home-like, peaceful oasis where children are supported with aroha, kindness and respect and gently emerge in their own, unhurried time. Strong relationships with families are an important part of our culture.
We are looking for someone with: An understanding of, and experience within, an ECE environment
Experience of, or an interest in, Steiner/Waldorf education
Experience in leading a team
Operational and management skills
Enthusiasm and warmth, with strong relationship and interpersonal skills
An ECE or primary teaching qualification is preferred but not essential.
We can offer you: A supportive small team that values the gifts of each staff member
A relatively autonomous role with Board governance and support
A salary commensurate with extended pay parity manager rate.
We would like the successful applicant to commence the role ideally in late January with some hand over days in December with our current manager.
