Year 5-6 Classroom Teacher

At Grantlea Downs School, we believe in nurturing curious minds, building strong relationships and growing together. We are looking for a passionate kaiako to join our supportive team – someone who brings energy, warmth, and a learner-focused approach to everything they do.

What we are looking for:

• Reliability and dedication: An educator who consistently shows up, actively leads and attends meetings, and commits fully to ongoing PLD.
• Strong team leadership: Warmth, kind confidence, and a passion for mentoring and guiding teachers to succeed.
• Effective behaviour management: Clear boundaries and proven strategies that build a calm, positive learning environment.
• Adaptability and vision: Willingness to embed our school’s existing programmes while driving curriculum innovation and student growth.

We value positive relationships, creativity, kindness, and a strong commitment to student wellbeing and achievement.  We are seeking a kaiako who can balance explicit teaching and bring learning to life through engaging, child-centred experiences.  Our school vision is ‘Growing a Community of Learners’.

Whether you are a beginning teacher or someone with experience, if you love what you do, we would love to hear from you.
