Mokoia School Taranaki

Senior Teacher (Year 4-6)

  • Full-time
  • Permanent

About the role

Do you believe in the power of strong relationships, great teaching and a little outdoor adventure?

We’re looking for a caring, creative and skilled teacher to join our kura and inspire our senior learners. You’ll bring confidence in structured literacy and numeracy, a talent for engaging older learners and a passion for learning that reaches beyond the classroom.

If you love helping tamariki grow in confidence, curiosity and capability, this could be the role for you!

Your superpowers:

  • Strong teaching foundations: You use structured literacy and numeracy approaches to support progress for every learner.
  • A gift for the senior years: You understand the needs of Year 4 to 6 and can confidently support learners in a composite-class setting.
  • Creative curriculum thinking: You connect learning across curriculum areas to create meaningful, memorable experiences.
  • An outdoor spirit: You see the learning opportunities in gardens, mud, bugs, birds and the natural world.
  • A capacity to work with neurodiverse children: You can support those who find neurotypical spaces difficult to navigate.
  • A heart for tamariki: You build trusting relationships, show empathy and help children and colleagues flourish.

We’re more than a school, we’re a community of curious learners, explorers and environmental stewards. As an Enviro School, we believe tamariki learn through doing, growing, exploring and playing. Getting our hands dirty is very much part of the adventure!
