Do you have a heart for community?

This is more than a leadership role - it is an opportunity to guide a team grounded in our core vision of faith, hope, love. We provide early childhood education for up to 110 tamariki, alongside wrap-around support services for tamariki and whānau in our care, as well as the broader community.

We are seeking an inspiring centre manager to lead our culturally diverse community centre. While an ECE qualification is not essential, a genuine passion for making a meaningful difference in the lives of tamariki, whānau, and the wider community is vital.

About the role

You will:

  • Foster a culture where tamariki are at the heart of every decision
  • Build trusted, respectful relationships with whānau
  • Strengthen community connections and partnerships
  • Provide strong, values-based leadership to a supportive and passionate team
  • Oversee the team and day-to-day operations of a well-established centre

About you

You will bring:

  • A genuine love for tamariki and belief in their potential
  • The ability to lead, inspire, motivate, and grow a team
  • A heart for community

What we offer

  • 10 days sick leave from your first day (T&Cs apply)
  • Access to our mental health and wellbeing hub, plus EAP support
  • Ongoing professional development to grow your career
  • 50% childcare fee discount for your child

This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants their leadership to have real impact - not just within the centre, but across the community it serves.

If you are ready to lead with purpose and make a lasting difference, we would love to hear from you.
