This highly rewarding role is for a registered classroom teacher in our independent special school, led by the principles of Rudolf Steiner. The nature of being a teacher at Hōhepa is unique and different, in the style of how we apply our curriculum.
Term 1 2027 start (early February) or earlier by negotiation.
You will have experience of working with ākonga/learners with intellectual disabilities and be able to respond to the individual needs of a range of diverse learners in your class. Our mission of “every life fully lived’ is embedded in our practice, and our teachers encourage, stretch and guide learning with the support of a close-knit teaching staff, therapists and leadership group, our team of experienced teacher aides, and the wider Hōhepa community.
You will have knowledge of how to engage and respond effectively with your learners, with an understanding of some of the challenging behaviours that you will sometimes encounter. You’ll be working in a supportive teaching environment with small class sizes and a strong focus on professional development and wellbeing.
We celebrate diversity and look forward to hearing about your special talents and interests, and what you think you’d contribute as a teacher at our school.
As an independent school the employment agreement will look different to the state special schools,and for overseas teachers there is no overseas relocation grant available.
