Scale A Teacher – Permanent, Full Time
Commencing Term 1, 2026
Matawai School is seeking a passionate, fun, and committed teacher to join our team from the start of 2026.
Our kura sits in the heart of a stunning rural environment, surrounded by rolling hills, rivers, and native bush. It’s the perfect setting for integrated, hands-on learning where tamariki explore, discover, and thrive. With small class sizes, strong whānau connections, and a community that backs its school 100%, this is an opportunity to teach in a place where learning is exciting, personal, and deeply connected to the world around us.
We are looking for a teacher who:
Builds positive, lasting relationships with students, staff, and whānau.
Brings creativity, fun, and flexibility to the classroom.
Has strong curriculum knowledge and can support diverse learners.
Wants to be part of a team that values laughter, collaboration, and the joy of teaching.
At Matawai School you’ll enjoy working in a well-resourced school with fantastic staff, supportive whānau, and tamariki who love to get involved. Add to that the outdoor adventures, rural lifestyle, and the chance to make a real difference — and you’ve got a role that’s hard to beat!
