Are you ready for the most rewarding (and occasionally glue-covered) job of your life?

Carisbrook School is on the lookout for a Y1 superstar to step into one of our classrooms in

• while our wonderful teacher takes maternity leave.

What's involved?

Guiding our tiniest tamariki as they discover the joys of reading, writing, counting, and remembering where their shoes went.

Turning chaos into learning, and mess into masterpieces.

Working alongside a supportive team who laugh often, care deeply, and know where the closest coffee shop is.

Who are we looking for?

Someone who can tell a great story, sing at least a little bit in tune, and survive the occasional glitter explosion.

A teacher who believes in the power of encouragement, curiosity, and a good sense of humour.

A New Zealand resident

Beginning teachers are absolutely welcome—this is a great place to learn, grow, and be part of a caring kura whanau.

Why Carisbrook?

Because our school values people, celebrates success, and believes every child (and teacher!) deserves to shine.

Plus, we've got great kai at staff shared morning teas!

Come join our whanau and help shape the next generation, one wobbly tooth, sticky high-five, and proud smile at a time!
