Employment
Teaching, administration and support staff are employed by local Kindergarten Associations.
If you are interested in working for a Kindergarten Association please contact the Association directly by following the link on our website.
Teacher vacancies may also be advertised in the Tukutuku Kōrero Education Gazette.
Employment Agreements
Kindergarten teachers who are members of NZEI Te Riu Roa are covered by the Kindergarten Teachers, Head Teachers, and Senior Teachers Collective Agreement 2023 – 2026 (KTCA). Teachers not covered by the Collective Agreement will be offered an Individual Employment Agreement (IEA) which mirrors the KTCA.
Kindergarten teachers’ collective and individual employment agreements (MOE)
Non-teaching staff employed by Associations are most often covered by an Individual Employment Agreement (IEA). The agreement is negotiated by the employee and employer. There is a Collective Employment Agreement (KASSCA), for Kindergarten support staff, covering Association support staff working in Kindergartens. This is currently available to people employed in specific non-teaching positions, such as administrative roles.
