Job description

We are recruiting an experienced and forward-thinking Head of Faculty for Technology for a prestigious, high-performing secondary school on Auckland's beautiful North Shore. This is an outstanding leadership opportunity for an ambitious educator looking to take the next step in their career at one of the region's most established and respected schools.
The successful candidate will lead a diverse Technology faculty, overseeing curriculum development, teaching standards, and the continued growth of practical and creative learning programmes. The faculty offers a broad range of subject areas, including Design & Visual Communication, Materials Technology, Digital Technologies and Textiles. You will have the opportunity to shape the future direction of the department, mentor and support teaching staff, and ensure students are equipped with the skills, creativity, and confidence needed for an ever-changing world.
The school has a proud tradition of academic excellence, offering both NCEA and International Baccalaureate (IB) qualification pathways. Its strong emphasis on innovation, student achievement, and holistic education creates an exciting environment for educational leaders who are passionate about developing high-quality teaching and learning.
As Head of Faculty, you will play an important role within the school's wider leadership structure, working collaboratively with senior management and other faculty leaders to drive improvement, encourage professional development, and maintain a positive, supportive departmental culture. The ideal candidate will bring strong subject knowledge, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to inspire both colleagues and students.
Located in one of Auckland's most desirable coastal areas, the school enjoys a stunning setting overlooking the harbour, with beaches, vibrant local communities, and easy access to Auckland's city centre. For teachers relocating from Ireland or the UK, this represents an exceptional opportunity to combine career progression with the lifestyle New Zealand is renowned for.
