Building Stronger Schools Together: Why We Partner, Not Transact

At Prospero, we believe recruitment in the education sector should be about more than filling vacancies. For us, it’s about forming long-term partnerships with schools, early childhood centres, and Boards of Trustees across New Zealand. We’re not here to be a transactional supplier – we’re here to be trusted advisors, supporting you in building strong, sustainable learning communities.

A Relationship Built on Trust

Our approach is rooted in understanding the unique needs of each school. We invest the time to listen, learn, and collaborate with principals, teachers, and board members. This ensures that every placement is more than just a match on paper – it’s about aligning values, culture, and long-term goals.

Sector-Specific Expertise

Education is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why our consultants specialise in distinct areas:

  • Early Childhood Education: Supporting centres in finding passionate educators who can foster curiosity and provide the very best start for young children.
  • Primary Education: Helping schools find nurturing, adaptable teachers who can inspire young learners.
  • Secondary Education: Supporting schools with subject-specialist teachers who bring expertise and enthusiasm to the classroom.
  • Special Education Needs: Partnering with schools to recruit skilled SEN educators who can create inclusive, supportive learning environments.
  • Leadership Recruitment: Working closely with Boards of Trustees to appoint principals and senior leaders who can drive strategic vision and foster positive school cultures.

Wide Range of Opportunities

We work with schools and centres to provide tailored recruitment solutions across all types of teaching opportunities:

  • Fixed-Term Roles: Covering maternity leave, sabbaticals, or project-based contracts.
  • Permanent Roles: Building stability within schools and centres by sourcing long-term, committed educators.
  • Relief Opportunities: Supplying quality teachers at short notice to ensure continuity in the classroom.

Collaboration with the Ministry of Education

We maintain direct communication with the Ministry of Education to stay aligned with national priorities, compliance requirements, and sector developments. This allows us to anticipate changes and provide timely advice, helping schools stay ahead in an evolving educational landscape.

 

Long-Term Support

Our role doesn’t end once a placement is made. We continue to support schools and educators with guidance, market insights, and tailored advice. Many of our relationships span years, built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to improving outcomes for students across the country.

At Prospero, we don’t just supply teachers – we stand beside you as a partner in shaping the future of education in New Zealand.
