We provide an incredibly nurturing and dynamic learning environment for our 330+ neurodiverse learners, aged 5 to 21 years, across the base school and satellite units.

Our vision is ‘Together, learning to live our best lives’ and our values are ‘Kia Maia/ Courageous' and 'Kia Hono/ Connected’. Our 270+ team of educators, therapists, specialists and teacher aides work together in a multi-disciplinary approach to meet the individual needs of every learner, with personalised learning programmes.

Please outline your superpowers (skills and experience) as related to any of the following:

- Autism and/or related with very high needs
- Experience or interest in physical/medical needs including oral feeding
- Sensory programmes
- Complex/challenging behaviours
- Vocational/functional programmes

- Empowerment of students to be active and independent

If successful, you will join a highly skilled and deeply committed teaching team who values every individual young person, encourages their progress, celebrates their achievements and inspires confidence in their futures. The professional growth of our staff is also highly valued and an emphasis is placed on every individual's development with opportunities for coaching, training and self-review within highly supportive teaching teams.

NZ teacher registration and a current practising certificate are required for this position. Teaching is on the NZ Immigration green list, so eligible applicants from outside New Zealand will be granted a work visa with a pathway to residency.
