Art Teacher

We are looking for a passionate, creative educator who loves bringing student voice to life through large-scale visual art.

Māngere East Primary School is a vibrant, culturally rich contributing primary school in South Auckland. We are seeking an inspiring part-time visual arts teacher to join our team for Term 1, 2027, to lead an exciting, school-wide outdoor mural project.

Working alongside our classroom teachers and tamariki from across our school, you will guide students through the full creative process; from exploring local stories, cultural heritage, and school values, to co-designing, scaling, and painting vibrant outdoor murals that will transform our school environment.

Days and hours are negotiable.

The successful applicant will:

• hold current New Zealand teacher registration and a practising certificate
• have strong expertise in visual arts, with practical experience in designing and executing large-scale or outdoor murals (including surface preparation and weather-appropriate materials)
• work collaboratively with classroom teachers to ensure every class can meaningfully contribute to an artwork
• demonstrate strong cultural responsiveness and an appreciation for our diverse Māori, Pasifika, and wider Māngere community
• be organised, adaptable to outdoor working conditions, and enthusiastic about empowering tamariki to take pride in their school environment.
