**Kaiako - Tutor: Literacy and Numeracy Learning**

Literacy Aotearoa delivers accessible quality programmes designed to ensure the peoples of Aotearoa are critically literate and able to realise their full social, cultural, and economic potential.

Programmes are provided at no direct cost to the learner, and build on their knowledge and experiences to enhance their confidence and capabilities. Learners celebrate their successes and achievements, growing their independence, confidence and resilience.

You will be part of a national team of educators who are passionate in their understanding that increased literacy and numeracy skills leads to increased opportunities, including employment and further education for learners, and potentially their whānau, families and communities.

Literacy Aotearoa is committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, working to a strong value base, and contributing to the wellbeing of our learners, our communities, and our country.

**Te āhuatunga a te tūranga - About the Role**

Reporting to the local Site Coordinator, the Kaiako - Tutor is responsible for delivering Literacy Aotearoa programmes to learners who seek to increase their literacy and numeracy competencies. Programmes and resources are provided but you will need to ensure that they match the needs of the learners you work with, and when necessary, seek alternative resources, appropriate to their needs.

Opportunities to deliver online programmes across the motu may become available.

Casual/fixed-term tutor positions may lead to permanent part-time positions.
