About the role

Calling all High School Biology Teachers!

We’re looking for a passionate engaging high school biology teacher to support our science programs on a full time (or flexible to part time) fixed term basis (two years).
Start Term 1, 2027.

Come teach science somewhere extraordinary and inspire the next generation of young Green School learners.

Green School New Zealand is looking for an exceptional biology teacher with experience teaching Advanced Biology NCEA Level 2-3, and with experience in teaching Year 7-11 general science to join our passionate, creative and genuinely supportive team.

Forget overcrowded classrooms and spending your day managing behaviour — here you’ll work with small classes and engaged learners, giving you the freedom to focus on what great teaching is actually about: relationships, curiosity, challenge and inspiring young people to think.

Set within a stunning natural environment, our school is innovative, values-driven and refreshingly different. If you’re a brilliant biology teacher who loves your subject, loves young people, and wants to be part of a very special educational community, Green School New Zealand might just be the best teaching move you ever make.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Delivering fun, hands-on science sessions to students
  • Creating an engaging learning environment
  • Supporting the development of scientific curiosity and confidence in learners

What we’re looking for:

  • Qualified and experienced science teachers, who can teach biology and general science (high school)
  • Enthusiastic communicators with a passion for education
  • Reliable team players who enjoy working with young people

If you're excited about making science come alive for students — we’d love to hear from you!
