Special Needs Teacher for Kea Centre (Years 9 to 13)

Taumarunui is a friendly, welcoming district known for its relaxed lifestyle, beautiful natural surroundings, and a strong sense of community. Set amongst rolling hills and on the stunning Whanganui River, Taumarunui is a small town setting, but with all the services of the city.

If you seek settled employment, affordable housing, hiking and mountain-bike trails, active sports and cultural clubs, and easy access to Mt Ruapehu for snow skiing and Lake Taupo for recreation, then Taumarunui is the town for you. It’s a place where you can breathe, explore, and truly feel at home, perfect for families and anyone looking to live in the quintessential, yet vibrant Aotearoa-New Zealand rural town setting and lifestyle.

Taumarunui High School offers you an opportunity to be part of a close-knit, supportive team that truly values its staff and students. Teachers enjoy a positive teaching and learning environment where innovation is encouraged and professional growth is actively supported. The school’s strong connection with its community creates a warm, inclusive atmosphere, and its smaller class sizes and both collaborative and structured learning approaches, allows teachers to build meaningful relationships and make a real difference for our students.

Some school housing is also available if required.

Students in our Kea Center receive ORS funding.
