Suitable for beginning teachers

Are you an energetic, self-motivated, and innovative educator who is passionate about valuing and understanding the unique nature of the emerging adolescent? We are looking to appoint two permanent, full-time Scale A teachers to join our team for the 2027. The positions involve opportunities to teach in either our bilingual or mainstream teams.

We seek collaborative practitioners with good curriculum knowledge and a commitment to evidence-based teaching. Specifically, we value an appreciation of the Science of Learning, an understanding of Structured Pedagogies, and a willingness to learn and integrate Explicit Direct Instruction into daily practice.

Within the Bilingual Context, Te Reo Māori and Tikanga form an integral part of the daily learning programme. Your personal level of fluency or depth of cultural knowledge can be at any level and support is available. A genuine desire to support this kaupapa is essential.

At Whakatāne Intermediate, you will join an active, vibrant school environment supported by a genuinely warm, welcoming, and caring staffroom culture. We are deeply committed to your professional learning and growth, providing a supportive space as we journey together through explicit and structured pedagogies, alongside a strong and engaging co-curricular programme.

Our ideal candidates will bring a collaborative approach, build strong, learning-focused relationships with whānau, and actively demonstrate a belief in being lifelong learners themselves. We welcome teachers who bring passion, enthusiasm, and a heart for our young people.
