Job description

Primary and intermediate (Years 1–8) / kura tuatahi, Certificated teacher
English, Health and physical education, Learning languages, Mathematics and statistics, Science, Social sciences, Technology, Te reo Māori, The arts

We are looking for highly motivated, resilient and passionate teachers to work in our junior Years 0 to 3 and intermediate Years 7 to 8 school for 2027.

Successful schools are built on positive relationships and quality teachers, and we are looking for someone who is motivated and knows the qualities needed to work in a New Zealand School, because it is the right place for them: someone who knows Kauri Flats, our vision and what this means – not just for a job in New Zealand with an AI-written application.

We are a school where it is okay to try something new to make an impact on our students with lots of support around you, where it’s okay to have grand ideas and use your passions to influence a love of learning as we transition from open plan learning environments to single Ccell spaces.

The key attributes of Kauri Flats teachers are:

• experience in New Zealand schools.
• excellent English language skills (both spoken and written) to teach literacy and the key foundations of learning
• have a great sense of humour
• excellent relationship builder with both kids, adults and whaanau
• a deep knowledge of the Te Maataiaho (New Zealand Curriculum)
• culturally responsive
• understand the future demands of 21st-century education
• competent with technology (not just able to use Google apps).
• forward, outside-the-box thinker
• solutions based
• go the extra mile for our learners – because they’re worth it!
• do not have a fixed mindset of how things should be done.

A keen interest in coaching sports and health is favourable.

Positions start January 2027.
