About the role
Are you a collaborative, energetic, and fun-loving educator looking for a rewarding part-time position? We are seeking an experienced, NZ trained, and registered teacher to join our supportive team on Thursdays and Fridays each week.
About the role
This is a 0.4 FTE position providing Classroom Release Time (CRT) and additional release across two dynamic junior classroom spaces:

- Flexibility: Comfortable stepping into different classroom environments and maintaining positive classroom management and routines.
What we offer
