Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Te Kura - The Correspondence School Full time

Kaiāwhina

Fixed Term - Jun 2023 to Jul 2024

Full Time

Based in Wellington Office**Are you excited about the future of learning?

Do you want to work with the latest technology?

Keen to be part of a collaborative and innovative culture?

Ko wai mātou | About Us


Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (Te Kura) is New Zealand's largest school with a roll of up to 24,000 ākonga (students) at any point of time.

We provide personalised and authentic learning programmes through distance education from early childhood to NCEA Level 3, including to young adult and adult learners.

Our ākonga are at the centre of all we do.


Our vision is to enable our ākonga to achieve their educational and personal goals, empowering them to become engaged and contributing members of their communities.

Ki te tī, ki te tā, ki te katoa - Anytime, anywhere, anyone.

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this position:

In 2021 the Government provided funding for Te Kura to support learners at risk of disengagement, who were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 disruptions.

Te Kura set up an Enhanced Engagement and Wellbeing project (He Oranga Mahuru) to support these ākonga.

Working directly with ākonga the Kaiāwhina mentors, motivates, encourages, challenges and supports ākonga, individually and in small groups, as ākonga engage in learning activities as guided by the project lead or in region kaimahi.

The success of this program in 2021 has meant that further funding has been granted for 2023.


In the Kaiāwhina role you will work as part of a team to improve outcomes for these ākonga by re-engaging them with their learning, and/or to successfully transition on to further education, training or employment.


Te Kura's vision is to enable our ākonga to achieve their educational and personal goals, empowering them to become engaged and contributing members of their communities.


Ko koe tēnei | About you:

We are looking for people with excellent interpersonal skills and an inclusive approach, able to quickly build rapport and trust with ākonga.

You will be expected to be aware of the health and safety requirements for working with ākonga outside the classroom and comply with the school's policies at all times.

Knowledge and experience of Tikanga and Te Reo Māori is an advantage.

Me pēhea te tuku tono | How to Apply:
For more information, check out the position description, or contact Anil Singh, Acting Regional Manager, Central South on

**Applications close at 5pm, Tuesday 20 June 2023.
