Top 4 reasons why our educators love working with us
-
1. Freedom for a fun day, every day
Having a maximum of four children in your care gives you the freedom to tailor the day's activities to suit the children's interests - from painting to attending a playgroup, to outdoor adventures. As a home based educator, it'll never be "just another day at the office."
-
2. Career fulfillment
Passionate about nurturing and caring for children? As an educator you'll have the opportunity to inspire and encourage the growth of young tamariki/ children. If making their early years count is close to your heart, we expect you'll find your job satisfaction in early childhood education.
Working with us you'll gain access to expert professional development and the opportunity to expand your career horizons. Formal early childhood education (ECE) qualifications are not currently required for home based educators, however we provide support, assistance and tons of encouragement for those educators who wish to step into tertiary study.
-
3. Support & learning development
As an educator, you'll enjoy the support of a dedicated, qualified visiting teacher/kaiako. Your kaiako will mentor you as you navigate new pathways in early childhood education, as guided by Te Whariki; the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum.
You'll have access to a range of benefits including professional development, resources, shared regular outings and play groups. Join a large professional team who will support and encourage you.
-
4. Financial flexibility
Enjoy the flexibility of a role that works for you and your family. While we'll provide guidance on what hours and rates are most popular, as a contractor you'll have the flexibility to select the hours and rates that work for you.
Work from home within your children's school hours (20 hours) and earn an average of $600 per week. Or maximize your earning potential with longer, or multi-session days (40 hours) and earn as much as $1,200 per week.
Did you know? Home based educators also receive a special tax allowance, essentially resulting in a very low tax rate and enhancing your overall after-tax income.
Yep that's right. Free for our Educators in Tauranga.
To support both our current Home Based Educators as well as our NEW Educators, we provide the opportunity to gain their NZ Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 4) free of study fees and course costs.
