Full Time or Part Time (0.6-0.8) – Permanent
Commencing Term 1 2025
We invite applications from experienced primary or secondary teachers with strong curriculum knowledge and an understanding of NCEA to join our Auckland West school unit, based at our attractive premises in Grafton.
We provide education and transition support for year 0-14 students whilst ill health prevents them attending their regular school. We are therefore keen to hear from teachers with flexibility and empathy, and an ability to adapt teaching to the unique needs of the individual student. Strong curriculum knowledge of NCEA mathematics an advantage but not essential.
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).
The successful applicant will be:
Fully NZ registered teacher with a highly developed knowledge of the NZ school curriculum
Empathetic, flexible and able to easily build rapport with students.
Able to uphold professional and ethical boundaries.
Experienced and confident working with students from year 0 to year 14.
Confident teaching online.
Ability to speak te reo Maori and/or connections with local iwi highly valued.
Northern Health School is a Ministry of Education funded 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.
Commitment to e-learning and knowledge of Office365 and Google suite tools an advantage.
Full NZ driving licence and own vehicle (reimbursed as per collective) essential for this position.
Our teaching roles promote the values of Te Tiriti o Waitangi within the culture of our school.
Close date for application: 2 November 2024
Auckland West Unit
The Auckland region is serviced by several NHS units and includes Starship and KidzFirst hospitals.
The Auckland West unit is located at 60 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland city fringe.
This unit covers the wider West Auckland region from the Riverhead and the Kaipara through to Avondale.
NHS Auckland West unit teachers work with school age students in the community who meet Northern Health School admission criteria. Education programmes are planned in association with staff at the student's regular school, with advice from medical professionals, 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 any others who may be involved in their wellbeing.
NHS teachers work with students in a variety of locations, depending on their health needs. Students may attend NHS student support centre classrooms, their school of enrolment, or be visited at home, or other community locations. When the student is ready, the NHS teacher will help transition the student back to school, or to employment or tertiary study.
When visiting students in the community teachers have the use of NHS vehicles; 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.
ICT is an integral part of Northern Health School's teaching, administration, programme development and student record activities. Teachers in all school units must be prepared to use ICT extensively in the course of their work.
Teachers are responsible to the unit associate principal and supported by a teacher aide/office administrator.
