A rare opportunity has arisen for a maths/science teacher to join Northern Health School as part of our friendly, professional team in the Waikato. This is a fixed term role to the end of the school year.

This role invites experienced secondary teachers for a rewarding position within our unique health school teaching environment. You will work with diverse and vulnerable students across a spectrum of years and subjects, either on an individual basis or in small groups. Depending on the health and education needs of the student, the teacher may provide the whole education programme, an education programme in association with the student’s regular school, or a programme in association with Te Aho O Te Kura Pounamu (The Correspondence School).

Personal attributes:

• Empathetic, flexible and able to easily build rapport with students.
• Confident working with students from year 0 to year 14.

Responsibilities:

• Provide education and transition support for year 0-14 students while ill health prevents them attending their regular school.

• Use ICT extensively for administration, programme development and student record activities.
• Collaborate with the Waikato Unit Associate Principal, office administrators, and a teacher aide.
