English Teacher

“Piki tahi, eke tahi” – Climb together, achieve together. 

Kapiti College is an exceptional school of approximately 1,450 students on the beautiful Kapiti Coast. Guided by our annual plan, our 4 pou, and the enduring gift of our Parihaka Values, we provide a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where every student is empowered to succeed.

Our 4 pou

• Pou 1: Excellence and achievement – high expectations and success for all.
• Pou 2: Wellbeing and belonging – a safe, inclusive whānau where everyone thrives.
• Pou 3: Whānau and community partnerships – strong collaborative relationships.
• Pou 4: Cultural growth – embracing diversity, Mātauranga Māori and Parihaka values.

The role

You will teach engaging English lessons with a focus on delivering excellent outcomes for senior students. A specialism in senior English, particularly NCEA Level, is highly desirable. Working within a supportive, well-resourced department, you will inspire students to develop a genuine love of literature, strengthen their critical thinking, writing, and communication skills, and achieve their personal best in English. You will create inclusive, student-centred learning that promotes excellence and achievement while honouring our commitment to culturally responsive teaching and our Parihaka values.

We are looking for a teacher who brings strong subject knowledge, creativity and enthusiasm to the classroom. 

If you are an inspiring English educator who is passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of young people, we would love to hear from you.
