Deanwell School is seeking passionate, committed teachers to join our team in 2027. We have 5 positions available.

At Deanwell School, we place the learner at the heart of all decisions we make – mana mokopuna . Our students, staff, board, whānau and community are all worthy of aroha and belonging.

We use the metaphor of a korowai to represent each learner's identity, language, culture and stories. When students join Deanwell, we value and acknowledge the korowai they bring and provide opportunities for them to add new knowledge, skills, strategies and experiences.

Our inclusive learning pedagogy is grounded in Hauora , with high-trust relationships at the heart of learning.

Deanwell is a progressive school where we value individual strengths and personalities and work collaboratively to build collective capability. Our Board invests in professional learning and development to strengthen teaching practice and student outcomes.

We deliver a knowledge-rich curriculum informed by the science of learning and explicitly taught using Dr Anita Archer’s Elements of Explicit Instruction . All teachers are trained or training in Multisensory Structured Language (MSL), aligned with International Dyslexia Association frameworks. We use the Explicit Maths Programme (EMP) consistently across the school and teach both Te Reo Māori and English.

If Deanwell sounds like a school where you would like to teach and learn we would love to hear from you.
