We are excited to offer a permanent, full-time teaching position at the Epuni Care and Protection residence at Riverside Drive, Lower Hutt. We are seeking a nurturing, caring, and enthusiastic NZ registered kaiako who is organised and dedicated to empowering ākonga in their learning journey.
You'll be responsible for designing, implementing, and assessing individual student programmes tailored to their needs. The ability to inspire and engage students across various subjects and cultivate positive relationships with ākonga, kaiako, and partners is vital.
Collaboration within each student's wider team is a key aspect of this role. Beyond teaching, you'll contribute to programme planning alongside other educators, specialists, and partners.
This position is suited to someone who is adaptable, innovative, patient, and self-motivated, with strengths in literacy, numeracy, EOTC, PE, health, and te reo. The ideal candidate will be a strong classroom teacher, with a deep understanding of the NZ Curriculum or Te Marautanga o Aotearoa across Levels 1–8. Commitment to kaupapa Māori is highly valued and would strengthen your application but is not essential.
Strong skills in literacy, numeracy, and proven experience in supporting a diverse range of youth are paramount. Proficiency in using digital technologies for planning, communication and administrative tasks is essential. Applicants must hold a current practising certificate as an experienced NZ registered teacher, and a clean, full New Zealand driver licence.
Our teachers benefit from working with small class sizes (1:7 ratio), receiving mentoring, coaching, and targeted professional development to foster their professional growth.
