Time and space to really teach

We are looking for a positive, capable, and caring teacher to join our team at Maihiihi School in 2027.

At Maihiihi, small class sizes mean you can genuinely know every learner, respond to their needs, and see the difference your teaching makes. Our ākonga are respectful, engaged, and ready to learn, and our teachers are backed by strong, accessible leadership and a supportive team.

With excellent resources, ongoing professional learning, and the opportunity to work in a small school where relationships really matter, this is a pretty special place to teach.

Our values guide how we learn, work, and grow together:

• Integrity - Do what's right.
• Courage - Have a go.
• Determination - Keep going.
• Curiosity - Keep growing.

We are looking for a teacher who will live these values alongside our tamariki, build strong relationships, hold high expectations for every learner, and bring energy and enthusiasm to our team.

We welcome applications from beginning teachers, experienced teachers, and teachers returning to the profession. The year level for this position will be determined in consultation with the successful applicant, taking into account their strengths and experience.

For the right applicants, we are also open to exploring a job-share arrangement. If Maihiihi sounds like the right fit for you, but full-time isn't, we'd still love to hear from you.

Come and visit us. We would love to show you around, introduce you to our team and ākonga, and give you a feel for what makes Maihiihi a great place to teach.
