Job description

Tutors / Assistants (Auckland & Waikato)

Make a real difference by helping us to share simple principles of practical philosophy and life tools that can help prisoners change their lives for the better.

  • Our programme currently runs in Auckland Prison and Wiri Men's Prison, with plans to expand to Mt Eden and Springhill Prison in Hampton Downs.
  • As a Tutor or Assistant, you’ll help deliver courses that share practical philosophy and life tools, empowering prisoners to transform their lives.
  • The prison environment can be challenging—ever-changing, sometimes frustrating, and even daunting at first.
  • However, many volunteers find this to be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling roles they’ve ever taken on.

Requirements :

  • Become a member of The Freedom Philosophy Society for just $20 per year.
  • No prior experience in practical philosophy or tutoring is required—especially for Assistants—as full training is provided.
  • We seek mature, calm, and open-minded individuals who are ready to support and connect with others.
  • Flexibility is essential in the prison environment.
  • Our model typically consists of 1 Tutor and 2 Assistants per group of 8-12 students, with multiple groups running simultaneously.
  • Tutors begin as Assistants to gain experience before stepping into a leading role.
  • A Ministry of Justice background check is required for this role.

    Time commitment :

  • Minimum commitment : 3-4 hours per week on a weekday for 6 weeks, plus a few hours of training beforehand.
  • Timing is flexible to align with course schedules.
  • We run six courses per year.
  • Consistency benefits both students and tutors, so we prefer volunteers who can support multiple courses throughout the year.
  • Getting started :

    The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.

    Ref : 2917
