Teacher or Tutor for Alternative Education

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 upper Whanganui River, Taumarunui is a small town 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, abundant rivers, and easy access to Mt Ruapehu for snow skiing and Lake Taupō for recreation, then Taumarunui is the town for you. It’s a perfect place for active singles, couples and families looking to live a vibrant Aotearoa-New Zealand rural, small town lifestyle.  Taumarunui High School offers you an opportunity to be part of a close-knit, supportive team that values both its staff and students.

Teachers enjoy a positive teaching and learning environment where professional growth is actively supported. The school is developing a stronger connection with its community, it has a warm and inclusive vibe, smaller class sizes, both collaborative innovation and structured learning approaches, and these allow teachers to build meaningful relationships and make a real difference for our students.  Whilst experienced teachers are preferred and Management Units (MU’s) are available (by negotiation depending on experience), beginning teachers will also be considered. Some school housing is also available if required.
