Mercury Bay Area School Waikato

English teacher Y9-13

Permanent position starting 2025

We are looking for a teacher of English to work across the middle and senior years in our kura. You will have a strong knowledge of the New Zealand Curriculum, a growing understanding of mana ōrite mō te mātauranga Māori and the enthusiasm to build this into your learning programmes.

You will have a passion for literature and enthusiasm for literacy and be dedicated to growing this passion and the engagement of our ākonga in the learning area. There may be opportunities to also teach across learning areas such as the performing arts. This position would suit a teacher of English at any point in their career. Although we have advertised for a 2025 start there might be an opportunity to start in this academic year

We are New Zealand's largest area school, and we are situated in the coastal town of Whitianga on the beautiful east coast of the Coromandel peninsula. Our location and the opportunities the area provides for a life/work balance through the recreational pursuits on land and sea are the envy of many.
