Mō tēnei tūrangi mahi | About this role

Eastbay REAP is looking for an experienced early years’ facilitator to support the delivery of our ECE In-home Programme in the Ōpōtiki region. Many families prefer to engage their children in education at home, so we work with whānau whose tamariki are not engaged for more than 8 hours a week in other ECE learning to support their children in their at-home learning journey. Based in Ōpōtiki, this role will deliver the programme to families throughout the Ōpōtiki region. We’re looking for someone with strong collaboration (teaming is a value) and communication skills! You’ll be building strong relationships in the community, and with children and their families. It’s also real important to have good record keeping and computer skills, as this is an important part of the role.

We’re keen to hear from you! Even if you don’t tick all the boxes, but think you’d be great for the role – apply anyway!
