Position to commence : 28 January 2026 (negotiable).

The Titiro Whakamua Teen Parent Unit is an attached unit of Heretaunga College and shares onsite building facilities with a Kindergarten managed by the Hutt City Kindergarten Association. The Teen Parent Unit serves the wider Hutt Valley region and is funded for 35 ākonga and 3.5 FTE teaching staff. The Kindergarten serves the tamariki of the Teen Parent Unit ākonga, the staff of Heretaunga College and the surrounding community.

This is a critical senior leadership position requiring a sophisticated and broad ranging set of administrative, pedagogical and relational skills, and a sensitivity to mātaurangi Māori. The capacity to work creatively and collaboratively with the College, the Kindergarten and supporting health agencies is fundamentally important.

This position offers a very special opportunity for life changing, impactful leadership of a resourceful, highly motivated registered teacher who has already demonstrated leadership capability in a secondary school setting.
