Nzma - Youth Tutor

**Who are we?**

The NZMA Group is the largest private provider of vocational education and have a portfolio of brands which include:

- NZMA vocational training
- The New Zealand Institute of Sport
- The Culinary Collective - School of Cooking and Hospitality
- NZMA Trades

We deliver top quality training in some of the fastest-growing fields today - from sport, trades, health, hospitality, cookery, to early childhood. With practical courses that teach real skills, unrivalled career support and campuses across New Zealand, NZMA is a springboard for building many bright and successful futures.

**About the role**:
As a Youth Tutor you will ensure that each NZMA Youth Guarantee student is provided with an optimal total learning experience - where they are welcomed into the Campus and treated with cultural understanding and respect. You will also provide quality teaching and learning support, guidance and help and assist the students in their transition to higher education and ultimately employment.

The Youth Tutor will provide support to the students within and outside of the classroom to help our youth succeed and transition into adult learning. The Youth tutor will successfully embed Literacy, Language and Numeracy (LLN) principles into the learning context and build the student's functional skills to support retention and successful outcomes.

External support will include building and utilising strong community contacts and developing a strong understanding of support systems available for our youth students to succeed.

**About you**:
We are looking for someone who has previous experience working with youth in alternative education or youth development sectors and who is aware of the unique challenges youth bring. You will have strong classroom management skills as well as an ability to excite and install passion through your teaching. Experience teaching youth or adult learners in a tertiary/relevant education environment is also preferred but not essential. It is also preferable that you have experience within the trades industry, though this is not essential.

**Why work with us?**

The NZMA Group prides itself on supporting a diverse and inclusive culture - open to inputs from creative people of all genders, ethnicity, identity, thought and experiences. We are fast movers, action orientated, keen innovators, and quick thinkers who enjoy a workplace that is inspiring and fun and focused on making a difference. We offer ongoing career development.

If you are looking for a role with a wide range of challenges and variety, and you want to make a difference, then this opportunity is for you.

**To Apply**:
**We are an equal opportunity employer. As part of our commitment to equity, we work to ensure a fair and consistent interview process. We celebrate diversity and we are committed to an inclusive work environment.
