Our organisation is made up of more than 3,000 talented and committed people around New Zealand, from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.
While we work in different groups and on different things, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for every child, young person and adult student in our education system.
About our group and team
Learning Support is a critical part of Te Mahau, Te Tai Whenua within the Ministry of Education. We are charged with leading the education sector in ensuring that children and young people with additional learning needs are supported to achieve their full potential through education.

- Providing high quality learning support in accordance with the guiding principles, strands and goals of Te Whariki: Early Childhood Curriculum and Te Whariki a te Kohanga Reo
- Strengthening the capability of those who are best placed to support the learning of children
- Assessing, collaboratively planning, supporting and monitoring the implementation of individual (or group) intervention plans.

- A minimum of three years teaching experience and a deep knowledge of child development, learning and behaviour
- An understanding of a range of needs and disabilities and their implications for daily functioning in family life and for teaching and learning in the context of early childhood and family homes
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to work effectively with children, young people and their families and teachers across a diverse range of settings
What can we offer you?
We offer a competitive salary and terms and conditions. In addition, our specialists tell us they value the following;
- “The ability to make a positive difference in the lives of children, young people and
their whānau and contribute to system wide change is a huge plus”
- “The Ministry offers a strong community of practice and the support of a large
organisation so I never feel isolated or alone”
- “I really value the ability to work closely with specialists from other disciplines. It
enhances my own practice and thinking”.
