Northland, New Zealand Okaihau College Full time

Okaihau College is seeking a motivated and qualified Head of Learning Area – Social Sciences to join our team.

The appointee will be expected to provide leadership and guidance for the social science curriculum across all year levels.

We are looking for a teacher who is skilled in developing curriculum with local and relevant content, while integrating student interest, embracing cross-curricular teaching, and the effective use of digital technology.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other teachers across curriculum areas to increase student achievement and contribute to the development of a culturally responsive practice.

A commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Te Ao Māori is vital. Experience in teaching geography and tourism to NCEA Level 3 would be an advantage but not essential.

If you're a passionate social science educator, up for a challenge, and want to help our students reach their full potential in the social sciences, we encourage you to apply.

A school house may be available if required.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including a base salary of around $80,000-$120,000 per annum, dependent on experience.
