Year 4 and 5 Kaiako Permanent

After 10 years with the Fernlea team, one of our fantastic teachers is setting off on a new adventure – which means an exciting opportunity has opened up for you! We are on the hunt for a passionate, New Zealand registered teacher to jump in, collaborate, and grow alongside our amazing ākonga and their whānau. You'll be joining a warm, highly supportive senior team, leading a Year 4 and 5 class.

If you are caring, enthusiastic, and deeply empathetic to the needs of our learners, we want to hear from you! We're looking for someone who loves building strong, genuine connections with our community as our tamariki navigate their learning journey.

At our kura, teaching and learning is a true team effort driven by collective responsibility and collaboration. Everything we do is anchored in our 4 core values: Show Heart / Manaaki, Be Connected / Tūhonohono, Be a Thinker / Whakaaro, and Have a Can-Do Attitude / Tae—and of course, having fun along the way is non-negotiable!

Ready to take the next step? Reach out to our principal, Tony Field, to discover what makes our fantastic kura such a special place to work!
