About the role

Kāore te kūmara e kōrero mō tōna ake reka...However, we think we're a pretty cool place to work!

We're searching for a fun and creative teacher to join our amazing team, in the bilingual pathway. If you're someone who loves teaching and who is keen to grow within tikanga Māori regardless of your level, then this is the perfect role for you.

What we're looking for

  • A teaching superstar: You love working with kids and enjoy the fun challenges the classroom brings.
  • Manaakitanga and whanaungatanga: You're kind and have a knack for building strong connections with students and their families.
  • Fun and creative: You're not afraid to think outside the box and bring a touch of fun and creativity to your lessons.
  • Team player: You enjoy collaborating with others and working as part of a supportive team.
  • Māori language and culture: You have skills in te reo Māori me ona tikanga or are eager to learn more.

Why join our team?

  • A fun and supportive environment: A positive and enjoyable workplace is massive for us. We like to laugh and have fun!
  • Opportunities for growth: We offer professional development opportunities to help you grow as a teacher and a person, especially within te ao Māori.
  • A team of awesome people: You'll be working alongside a supportive, dedicated and talented team of educators.

We know that people are keen to develop their reo and tikanga Māori skills but might feel intimidated about not having enough reo for the bilingual pathway. Do not let that stop you!

If you’re a good kaiako and have a desire to improve, then we'd love to have you work here. Get in touch to have a kōrero to see if we're the right fit.

Ko ā tātou tamariki ngā rangatira ō āpōpō. Kia Ōtaki te tū!
