The Role:
From the moment they walk through the stained-glass front door, parents, children and teachers know they’ve arrived somewhere special. Bear Park Epsom, affectionately known by teachers and families as ‘Patey Street’, is housed in a grand homestead standing proud on a lovely hill, surrounded by more than 2000 square metres of land. Our environment is welcoming, spacious and enchanted; a haven for children and teachers alike.


Due to our wonderful Centre Director going on maternity leave, we are looking for an experienced ECE leader to join us from September 2025 through to June 2026.


Supported by an experienced and close-knit leadership team, you will put children at the forefront of all you do, delivering a well rounded and engaging curriculum, whilst ensuring the success of the centre from a business perspective, including overseeing and managing compliance. You will have a passion for the Reggio Emilia philosophy and supporting engaging provocations with our natural resources.


As a Centre Director, communication will be one of your core strengths. Relationships drive all we do and ensure not only our children, but our teachers and whanau are engaged and feel part of our centre community. You will be an experienced leader with strong mentoring skills and a passion for cultivating a positive learning culture.

  • The opportunity to work in a supportive, and close-knit organisation.
  • Intensive and personalised induction covering all aspects of the Centre Director role prior to commencement.
  • Full Pay Parity.
