Job description

We’re looking for experienced information technology professionals who are ready to share their practical knowledge, industry insights and enthusiasm with ākonga.

Our Bachelor of Information Technology is known for its applied approach, strong industry connections and project-focused learning. Each semester, ākonga bring their learning together through an experiential Studio course, developing practical capability alongside teamwork, professionalism and self-directed learning skills.

As an Information Technology Lecturer, you will:

• Prepare and deliver engaging course content
• Teach both theoretical concepts and practical IT skills
• Use a range of teaching approaches to create outstanding learning experiences
• Support ākonga with projects, assessments and their wider learning journey
• Assess and provide constructive feedback on learner work
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to develop and review courses
• Help ensure our programmes remain current and connected to industry practice
• Deliver face-to-face and blended learning
• Contribute to our international teaching partnership in China

A particularly exciting part of these roles is the opportunity to contribute to Otago Institute, the joint education programme between Otago Polytechnic and Hunan Institute of Engineering in Xiangtan, China. You will teach information technology courses in English and bring our practical, applied approach to an international learning environment. These positions require the ability and willingness to travel to China at least twice each year, for approximately two months at a time.

You don’t need to come from a teaching background. If you enjoy explaining how things work, supporting others to develop and seeing people succeed, this could be the career move you’ve been looking for.

Ko wai koe | About you

You’ll bring recent, relevant experience from the information technology industry and a genuine interest in helping others learn and succeed.

You will also bring:

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to make technical concepts clear, practical and engaging
• A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute as part of a supportive team
• Confidence using contemporary digital and Microsoft 365 tools
• A commitment to safe and inclusive working practices
• A willingness to develop your teaching capability
• The ability and willingness to meet the international travel requirements of the role
