Morningside School is seeking a thoughtful, capable kaiako for a 0.6 FTTE fixed-term position to cover a staff member’s approved leave for the 2027 school year.

The teaching arrangements will be negotiated with the successful candidate, taking into account their strengths and the needs of our school.

The role may include:

• Teaching classes in our Hive learning space while their classroom teachers are released. Learning experiences may include Garden to Table, STEAM, library learning, or an area that draws on your personal strengths.
• Teaching in children’s usual classrooms to provide release for their teachers.
• Sharing responsibility for a class through a job-share arrangement.

The position may involve a combination of these components.

Our vision, Whakamana Akoranga – Empowering Learning, reflects our belief that every learner deserves to experience belonging, progress and success. Our values of Whakaute, Māhirahira, Hiranga and Whanaungatanga guide how we learn, teach and connect.

We are looking for someone who brings effective teaching, strong organisation and flexibility, alongside a commitment to culturally sustaining practice, Te Tiriti o Waitangi and meaningful partnerships with whānau.

Your trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach will recognise individual strengths and different ways of learning. You will combine high expectations with calm, relational and restorative practice, predictable routines and responsive support.

In return, we can offer a welcoming, collaborative team, approachable leadership and opportunities to strengthen your practice through shared expertise and professional learning.

We welcome applications from kaiako who would bring consistency, enthusiasm and a clear learning focus to this varied role.
