About the role

Ormiston Provision | Ko Taku Reo Deaf Education New Zealand

Are you a skilled teacher who excels at visual scaffolding and explicit teaching? A role in Deaf education could be for you, even if you do not yet know New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL). At Ormiston, your teaching strengths can help our students shine. Prior experience in Deaf education or NZSL is not essential: you will receive dedicated NZSL learning, individual mentoring and support from specialist colleagues from day one.

Ko Taku Reo is Aotearoa’s provider of specialist education services for Deaf and hard of hearing learners, supporting ākonga from early childhood through their transition into adulthood. At our Ormiston Provision, classes of fewer than 10 students give you space to build strong relationships and see your teaching make an immediate impact.

We seek a collaborative teacher committed to accessible, equitable bilingual education. Join a learning community that values the language, identity, culture and aspirations of Deaf and hard of hearing learners. Working alongside colleagues, whānau and specialist professionals, you will help ākonga build confidence, experience success and make meaningful progress.

Your skills in making learning visible and providing clear, structured instruction will be valued here. With small classes and specialist support, you can focus on understanding each learner and creating accessible learning experiences that reflect their strengths, aspirations and voice, while developing your knowledge of Deaf education.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Brings strong foundational teaching practice, particularly in visual scaffolding, explicit instruction and structured learning environments.
• Holds high expectations for every learner.
• Develops inclusive learning programmes informed by assessment and learner voice.
• Values Deaf culture and bilingual education in NZSL and English.
• Demonstrates a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
• Current NZ teacher practising certificate.
