This is a fixed term, full-time position covering study leave beginning in term 1, 2026. It is an exciting opportunity to support learners, teachers, and whānau across our kura, while also providing direct teaching and guidance for students funded through the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS).

We look forward to hearing from you and learning about the heart, skills, and passion you could bring to our kura and community.
