Teacher of Hard Materials/Woodwork

Matamata College is a Year 9-13 state secondary school in Matamata, Waikato. We have a proud history of student achievement since 1918. Our school is at the hub of our local community which is as rich in history as it is diverse. A strong rural base has given rise to many successful and varied businesses. We have a valued association with local iwi Ngāti Hinerangi, Ngāti Hauā and Raukawa.

We are looking for an engaging and culturally responsive teacher with a strong knowledge of joinery and/or construction industry experience to join our passionate Technology team. The successful applicant will be able to teach senior Hard Materials to NCEA Level 3.

The successful applicant must be skilled in working with timber, comfortable in a workshop environment and be aware of relevant health and safety practices. Our priority is to appoint someone with genuine, hands-on woodworking expertise. Applicants should have proven experience in carpentry, joinery, cabinet making, or a closely related field. Trades experience would be an advantage but is not a prerequisite.

Please state your other supporting subjects. The successful applicant will be collaborative, organised, relational, and capable of catering to a wide range of learning needs and have strengths in supporting students to develop their literacy skills. A willingness to contribute to the extracurricular life of the school is encouraged.

Come and join a values-driven team of professionals in the heart of the Waikato. Matamata is perfectly located for great access to many outdoor and lifestyle options such as lakes, ocean, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, hot pools and café culture.
