PLAYGROUP CO-ORDINATOR WANTED!
Do you have experience working with children in an educational setting – preferably Early Childhood? Maybe you’ve been teaching and are looking to reduce your hours for some work/life balance.
We’re looking for a new Playgroup Coordinator who has enthusiasm for working with young children and their families to run our Community Playgroup. Our playgroup runs three times a week during term time (yes that means school holidays off!); Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8.45am -12.15pm. The role is 12.5 hours per week, including pack up and administration.
This is a sole charge position, but you’ll have the support of your manager - the Community House Coordinator - when needed. You’ll be excited to encourage parent involvement in running Playgroup, able to manage finances and donations, and provide a safe and stimulating environment for the children and their caregivers.
You’ll have a passion for running exciting and varied learning programmes for young children aged 0-5 years old. Of course, you’ll love what you do and be keen to get amongst the Hataitai Community.
Your ability to work well with parents and caregivers is vital and an ECE qualification or similar teaching qualification is an advantage, as you will be following Te Whaariki (the NZ Early Childhood Curriculum) and work alongside the Ministry of Education to meet early childcare requirements.
Please note applicants will need to pass a New Zealand Police Children's Worker Safety Check. To apply send your cover letter and CV through Seek.
Job applications close 12 July 2023.

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
