Area / composite (Years 1–15), Certificated teacher

Matamata Christian School is seeking a skilled and passionate part-time teacher to help integrate our newest Year 0 students into our junior classroom for Term 4.

Due to recent roll growth, we are supporting learners ranging from new starts to those well established. To support this growth, funding is available for an additional teacher to focus on building foundational skills and supporting a smooth transition for new entrants through to the end of this school year. This would be to work mornings for 3–5 days per week (you can decide what suits).

We are looking for an outstanding educator with a proven ability to inspire, motivate, and engage students across the Year 0 year level. The successful applicant will have a strong understanding of the foundational skills students need as they start school.

The ideal candidate will identify strongly with the school’s special character. This would suit any professional teacher including a recently retired person. Because this is fixed-term and part-time it would not be suitable for overseas applicants.

Matamata Christian School has a strong reputation for excellence, community, and faith-based education. If you are enthusiastic about contributing to a school where your work has real purpose and impact, we would love to hear from you.

Remuneration:
The terms and conditions, including base salary, are set by the Primary Teachers’ Collective Agreement. The base salary for trained and registered teachers is pro-rated and based on a salary range from $61,329 to $103,086, depending on qualifications and experience. The actual base salary will be established through a salary assessment once the appointment is confirmed.

Because this position is re advertised applications will close once someone suitable applies.
