Meet Laura

Laura North

Kia ora! I’m Laura, and I joined Prospero Teaching in October 2024 as the Recruitment Consultant for Early Childhood Education (ECE).

I work closely with our amazing pool of relief teachers, helping centres across Aotearoa find the right support—whether it's last-minute cover for the day or a longer-term booking. I also onboard new teachers, both qualified and unqualified, for relief roles as well as exciting permanent opportunities.

Whether you're a centre needing support or a teacher exploring your next step, I’m here to help you find the right fit. Let’s chat!

Please contact me on 021 334 347 for urgent booking requests.

Everything went well! Both Emily and Ashley were clear on the expectations and were welcoming to my situation on wanting to work around whānau and got back to me via email quite quickly.

Marchelle (Auckland) | Feb 2024

With the Prospero team, I’ve experienced sincerity, care, and prompt support for their relief staff. In short, they truly value their relievers.

Sabina (ECE Reliever) | May 2025

Emily and the Team have always been really helpful when we have required a reliever.
