We invite applications from experienced teachers with strong curriculum knowledge and an understanding of NCEA.
Applicants must be NZ fully registered and recent experience teaching the New Zealand curriculum is preferred.
Northern Health School is a Ministry of Education funded school where we provide education and transition support for year 0-14 students whilst ill health prevents them attending their regular school. School management and administration is predominantly based in Auckland with school units in centres throughout the North Island from Kaitaia to Gisborne, Taupo and Taranaki.
Teachers work with students across a spectrum of years and subjects on either an individual basis or in small groups. Depending on the health and education needs of the student, teachers 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).

A fully registered teacher with a highly developed knowledge of Te Mataiaho (the refreshed NZ curriculum)
Empathetic, flexible and have a strong interest in pastoral care
Able to build strong relationships with students, whanau and key stakeholders
Able to uphold professional and ethical boundaries
Confident working with students from year 0 to year 14
Prior experience teaching in a Health School and/or in pastoral roles is an advantage. Commitment to e-learning and knowledge of Office365 and Google suite tools is also an advantage.

Auckland North unit
The Auckland region is serviced by several NHS units and includes Starship and KidzFirst hospitals.
Auckland North unit is located in Apollo Drive, Rosedale. Teachers cover the area north of Auckland City harbour bridge to Albany/Long Bay.
NHS teachers work with school age students who meet Northern Health School admission criteria. Education programmes are planned in association with the student's medical team, staff of the student's regular school and may include Te Aho O Te Kura Pounamu (Correspondence School) subjects. An ILP (Individual Learning Plan) is developed for each student in association with their school of enrolment, parents and other key stakeholders.
NHS teachers work with students at either their school of enrolment, the NHS support centre (Apollo Drive) or a local community venue, depending on their health needs. Some students may be seen at home if required. When the time is appropriate, the NHS teacher will help transition the student back to school on a full-time basis.
When visiting students in the community, teachers have the use of an NHS vehicle; however, should a vehicle be unavailable, teachers will be expected to use their own vehicle and be reimbursed according to the teacher's collective agreement.
Use of technology is an integral part of Northern Health School's administration, programme development and to record student activities. Teachers in all units must be prepared to use the NHS student management system (eTAP), Microsoft 365 and the Google Suite extensively in the course of their work.
Teachers are responsible to the unit Associate Principal and are supported by a teacher aide/office administrator.
