Job description

Ahi kā ki uta, ahi kā ki tai, kia horahorahia, purapura o ahi kā. Let your home fires be seen inland, let you home fires be seen along the coast, and may the sparks from your home fires rise up and be seen throughout the world.

Are you an outstanding educator experienced in facilitating ākonga (learners), with a desire to help people transform their lives and realise their full potential? If so, Capable NZ wants to hear from you.

Capable NZ is Otago Polytechnic’s provider of Work-Based Learning (WBL) Qualifications offering the Independent Learning Pathway (ILP) and Professional Practice Qualifications, re-engaging experienced adults with education. We provide people with extensive professional and community experience, the opportunity to earn a tertiary qualification based on their skills and expertise, and through new learning at and through their workplace.

Due to growth throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand, we need an Engineering Subject Matter Expert to work as a Facilitator in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology programme.

As a highly competent Facilitator, you will travel with learners through their personal journey of reflection and self-assessment.

Our team is largely remote, working from home and utilising technology such as Teams to connect with our learners and colleagues. We have an office in Dunedin should you wish to work onsite.

Ko wai koe | About you

You will possess a strong understanding of adult learning, ideally including work-based learning, and recognising the significance of ‘ako’ and how it applies to the learner. You will be adaptable to the needs of your learners, driven to help them succeed, and work well within appropriate graduate profiles, policies and processes.

You will have extensive experience in Engineering and ideally either leadership, management or adult education. You will have a strong professional practice framework, be a culturally responsive practitioner and be self-managing, organised and thorough. Your style will be energising and results-focused.

Reflection will be natural to you and your curiosity to learn about others will make you a good listener with strong questioning skills. A deep sense of accountability will drive you to go the “extra mile” for your learners; you will have their best interests at heart and mind. As part of a self-leading team, you will communicate effectively, take responsibility for your work, be accountable to your learners and your colleagues, and live the values of Otago Polytechnic and Capable NZ.

Through recognition, empowerment and inclusion, you will give greater acknowledgement to the unmet needs of Māori, Pasifika and disabled people and their whanau.
