Kaiako (2) Y0-8 Teacher

Full time, permanent and fixed position (roll growth)

Ngākōroa School is a Y1-8 school that opened in 2022 to meet the needs of the growing population of Auranga in Drury. We currently have a roll of 175 students, with plans to grow to 300+ over the next few years.

We are looking for passionate and experienced kaiako to teach in a supportive collaborative team, with opportunities in each phase of the curriculum phases, please state your preference.  If you value an inclusive, strength-based learning environment and are a relationship-focused, high-expectation practitioner, we would love to hear from you.

Experience and passion for learning through play pedagogies and knowledge of structured literacy in a New Zealand school context is an advantage. Successful applicants may also be willing to teach and lead at different year levels as the needs of our growing school evolve.   While this ad is aimed at experienced kaiako, we're also excited to hear from beginning teachers who want to make a difference and align with our school vision and values. 

At Ngākōroa School, we are deliberate and genuine in enacting our vision; ‘Kawea te Mātauranga ki te Whaiao ki Te Ao Mārama; Bringing Learning to Life’, giving ākonga opportunities to learn through play, and to be active learners through creative inquiry. 

This position offers an amazing opportunity to be part of growing a new, dynamic school within a supportive community, with further potential positions in 2027 as we continue to expand.   The ideal start date for both positions is Term 3, but we are flexible for the right person.

Please apply with a cover letter stating how your strengths and experience align with our school vision and values, your CV, and a completed school application form (attached).
