Dunedin Kindergartens offers all teachers the opportunity to:

  • Work alongside enthusiastic and qualified teachers
  • Participate in ongoing professional learning and development
  • Experience a wide variety of kindergarten communities and working environments
  • Access an induction and mentoring programme

All our teaching staff are covered by the pay and conditions as stated in the National Collective Employment Agreement for Kindergarten Teachers.

We are always seeking enthusiastic teachers for relieving positions, and from time to time we offer permanent positions.

To apply for a teaching position, you will need:

  • A Diploma or Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education – or equivalent qualification as assessed by NZQA.
  • A current Practicing Certificate issued by the New Zealand Education Council.

Relieving with DK

We are always keen to welcome enthusiastic teachers to our relief pool.

To apply to join, please download the Simplifi app (previously known as StaffSync), which we use to manage our relief teachers.

Open this factsheet to read about how to download the app and register. The factsheet sheet contains instructions about StaffSync, but also applies to Simplifi.

We’ll reply to your application and set up a meeting with Lee, who is one of our Senior Teachers.
