Alongside delivering core programme curriculum, you will assist tauira (students) reach their personal and financial goals through understanding how they can establish their own business.

Mōu | About you

The ideal applicant will have relevant tertiary and adult teaching qualifications as well as practical business experience. Confidence in online teaching is essential. An understanding of some Te Reo Māori and tikanga would be helpful, but more important is the ability to relate to all cultures within the classroom.

Whilst this contract is for an online delivery format, we are interested in finding someone who has the potential to deliver either or both online and face-to-face classes in future, particularly in Whangārei. Thus, it is advantageous, but not essential, that the applicant be based in Whangārei.

If this position is for you, in your cover letter tell us why you are the right person to help our students put their learning into action.  Applicants must be available for an interview in late-April 2025.
